After a bit more research, I actually think renting a place will get me started faster and earn some experience doing Airbnb with a little less risk involved.Obviously I still need to be concerned about not violating a lease agreement by doing so and I would likely live on the property and lot or all the time.Ownership is still the ultimate goal, but this looks a faster party to self driven income.

It’s a mutifamily property with 6 units and I have a W-2 job so not something I can self manage.

Hi Randall-Congratulations on buying a rental property well back in 2020.I am sorry to hear the property is now cashflow negative $200 a month.Your question is should you sell or continue to keep it with the negative cashflow.Depends on your personal goals and if being negative $200 a month plus any unexpected repairs or vacancies is affordable to you, but if you can solve the negative cashflow by turning the property into a furnished mid-term rental, for example, your future self may thank you.To Your Success!

Over the past 6 months I have been really researching and devoting myself to self improvement and learning.

Congrats - huge advantage to agent investors that can save on those costs and self rep

Maybe talk with some realtors who have people who cannot get a loan because they are self employed, but have plenty of down payment.

Now I'm not gonna be Mr Tour-guide for any/all who want to stop out and just look around but if you go through the steps and are serious, we have built out acquisition strategy HECK-YEAH I'm gonna say come-on-out and we'd carve out some time to do market tours together AND I'd equip you to do some self study/exploration. 

I prefer small Strip malls or self storage.I need advice on how to find the deals, how to get lending on them and then how to set up the structure.I have flexibility to fly out next month is there are peers who can meet and help me out in their local markets.thanks,Paul
