If one is a high W2 earner, real estate is not the place.

I’m drawn to real estate not just for financial freedom but to build a legacy for my family while contributing positively to communities.

The other thing that concerns me is you mention that you are both high income earners but that you are “trying” to save an emergency fund.

Hey Rebecca, I'm a broker and investor up in Sacramento and manage about 100 investment properties (STR and LTR).Many of my clients are high W2 earners seeking "bonus depreciation" to offset tax liability by investing in STR.

I’m excited to connect, learn, and eventually contribute as I gain experience.Feel free to drop your wisdom or recommendations—I’m all ears!

I’m eager to connect with experienced investors and would love any advice or mentorship on getting started, from financing and property selection to management strategies.Looking forward to learning from this community and contributing where I can!

I've become interested in finding an individual who can serve as a business partner (doesn't have to be 50/50, in fact wouldn’t want that), but a business relationships that would span across the entire business and someone who would share some of the workload, guarantor requirement and capital contribution and capital raising responsibilities, all of which currently falls on me.

The current rents are really low because the tenants are responsible for doing any and all repairs on their buildings (which in my opinion contributes to the poor condition of the buildings). 

From a personal standpoint I target 70% LTV for any investment I have that way gives me ability to sell it if I need tooI'm Canadian so it a T4 up here and yes I'm I high earner who can handle vacancies if need be.
