I'd echo what Robert said...once you've got the goal in mind it'll be easier to decipher your approach for getting to that goal.

@Bryce John, there's no set-in-stone method for jumping into real estate investing and everyone has a different position/situation, but here's my practical advice/steps: obtain W2 employment (lenders like to see this), save religiously, cut unnecessary expenses, build your credit, educate yourself on the strategy of house hacking (there's thousands of forum posts and multiple books on this topic), acquire your first house hack deal and decipher if you like being a landlord or not.

Hi all,Would like to get your thoughts on the following, which I'm trying to decipher, unsuccessfully.I'm in the process of screening a potential tenant, and a search on the state's court recordspulled up a Housing Court case.Normally, I'd stop there, because usually it means there was an eviction (this case is from 2021,so fairly recent).

Intelligent people can normally decipher a retaliatory/bitter review from those that are legitimate, especially if the business/owner has a consistent record of providing stellar service.Truth is, we can't please everyone, and we're going to cross paths with those who try, but can't get over on us. 

I WOULD DECIPHER WHAT VIOLATIONS ARE NECESSARY AND SAFE VS.

I live in Central NJ and haven't been able to decipher what a "good deal" looks like around here.
