Exhaust the free resources, figure out what kind of strategy you want to use, a market, etc. and go from there.I will say, I probably wouldn't sell the stocks to invest in real estate.

The exhaustion and lack of flexibility of working for someone else is what drove me here.

Make sure you have reserves and try to get private lending so you keep reserves on the side and don’t exhaust your liquid funds.I bought my first BRRRR deal in Feb 2020, days before the covid lockdown, had an extremely difficult time finding subcontractors at anything but ridiculous prices, materials kept climbing in price, the rehab ended up taking months longer and costing $30k over budget.Let me tell you I was chewing off my nails the whole darn time, wondering if we’d be plunged into a recession and if I’d lose everything…Somehow, I still came out on top with the refinance topping my all-in costs by $35 - $40k and now have had rockstar tenants in there for almost 10 months.

We are saving a lot each month for a down payment but I’d like to know if I have more options to purchase instead of exhausting my cash reserves. 

I've been analyzing several properties to the point of exhaustion over the past few weeks.

I started with 1 and am now at 80 and it is exhausting. 

"They exhausted all the funds that were allocated during the pandemic."

Worst case you pay 20 percent interest on credit cards if you exhaust all options.

You are going to exhaust this list very quickly.

The IRS will appreciate it when they audit you.This may be an exhausting post but it isn’t exhaustive of when can and does happen with LLCs ;-)
