That $15.6K/year in profit from the new property adds up, especially when you factor in potential appreciation over time.As far as the Roth 401(k) goes, the growth potential is nice, but it’s not going to generate the same kind of passive income you’re going to see with real estate.

We live in Germany, but go to the USA once a year to visit.

@Min Zhang Nice work, Min!

Before you know it you will have a nice portfolio to continue to grow.  

It’s so nice to meet a fellow newbie investor in the area!

Here is my simple Top 5:1.Review the market – Understand the trends and conditions in the area.2.Analyze the property and the numbers – Ensure the deal makes financial sense.3.Visit the property – There’s no substitute for seeing it firsthand.4.Meet the team – Whether it’s your property manager, builder, or contractor, relationships matter.5.Complete inspections and appraisals – These protect you from costly surprises.If all these boxes are checked and the numbers work for your goals, then it’s likely a solid deal.

Quote from @Jonathan Worrell: Nice to meet you.

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

Hey @Rob Anteau, we have a nice welcome box with tons of snacks and various drinks.

I have a house three hours away and once a quarter I do the 3 hour drive, I'm there a couple hours, meet some good friends for lunch and drive back... it's a nice day!
