Seriously—Pick a Property TypeDetached houses might be the easiest to work with, but the real key is committing to a property type.

Hey Matt,I’ve been investing and managing properties for over 20 years, and choosing the right market is key—especially as a new investor.

I would buy something closer to turn key if you can, even if you pay up, because it will reduce the work you have to do and figure out as a new large-scale investor.

To analyze deals efficiently, focus on key metrics like cash flow, cap rate, and expense ratios—make sure rental income covers mortgage, taxes, insurance, and maintenance while hitting your 6% cap rate target.

With flip loans, experience is key.

It’s the risk ADJUSTED return that’s key.  

We have 2 San Antonio sub2 deals that are turn key homes and only require about $20-25k to close (assignment fee + closing costs).They're a great option!

Building confidence, a plan, and understanding your risk tolerance are all keys to success. 

Again, the key here looking for properties that need work so you have a better crack at cash flow. 

This is the BEST $100 you will ever spend, and if you listen to Amanda Han's tax book, you'll know it's also likely a business expense for you to write off :) https://biggerpockets.supercast.com/My perfect way to learn from the BP books is to listen to the audio book through the subscription above, then books that really stand out to me I go old school and get the physical copy so that I can re-read it, take notes in the margins, and put post it notes so key points are easier for me to re-reference in the future.
