One of my goals this year was to take actionable steps into jump starting my real estate journey, so here I am, taking that first step.A little about me: I'm a San Antonio native that lived out of state for a couple of years but has migrated back home.

Looking over your numbers I'm surprised a couple of them are so low - mortgage expenses, repairs and capital expenses.

A couple months ago there was a guest on the BP money pod that said something I really liked, "put your risk in your ROTH" and by that he meant that if you're going to invest in something riskier that has the potential to have large returns, put that in your ROTH account because you're only taxed on what goes IN to your ROTH, not what comes out.

That's pretty important if rates were to decrease in the next couple of years.2.

If anything’s not up to code, you’ll need to fix it before they sign off.As for costs, you’ll have permit fees—those can range from a few hundred to a couple of thousand dollars.

I have a couple of investments and am about to jump into a Short term rental while still being a w-2 employee.

I like to look for locations that are good, and that I’d feel safe and comfortable living in if I was a single woman with a couple of kids.

My husband is a physician and we have a couple homes, stocks, other investments, etc.

I have a couple of buyers that will purchase without due diligence.
