Real estate investing is a marathon, so start small, focus on sustainable growth, and leverage house hacking for long-term wealth.Good luck!

I have found that I need to enjoy it but also that the way that it works needs to resonate with me to where I believe that it will work so that I can go all in on it! 

So is your comment about passive investors wanting ROI that are only achievable (on a SUSTAINABLE basis, and without undo risk) by knowledgable, experienced active investors "in the game".  

Hey @Ashley Wong,I don’t have much insight into Columbus or Tulsa, but I run a turnkey provider in Huntsville and can vouch for the area—for two reasons.First, Huntsville’s strong demographic headwinds have led to steady and sustainable population growth (+20% in the last decade), while the city’s abundance of high-quality STEM jobs—brought to the area by industry heavyweights like Dynetics, Boeing, FBI, Redstone Arsenal, Blue Origin, and others—have attracted numerous well-heeled millennial renters.

That’s totally reasonable. my point is so many here seem to believe they can have a sustainable business without any money.

There’s more than one way to skin a cat and the one that resonates with me is the BRRR strategy.  

Make it easy for your audience to connect with you and access valuable resources.Remember, your personal brand is what truly resonates with investors.

It is not a sustainable business model. 

If I thought for one minute it was a money maker or sustainable I would not have sold my 200 doors. 

Focus is on the property’s ability to cover debt and ensure financial sustainability over the loan term.
