Hi @Bryce Cover,First, congratulations on your growing family and your successful real estate investment so far!

@Steve Meyers I’ve been running this with some success with a local cincinnati agent on 2+ units and nationally with a commercial broker for shopping centers.

But I see no reason why this can't be done by someone like Scott, or anyone who is successful in any real estate endeavor.

Four properties were existing STR's that had a permit 'transfer' and the other half were eligible properties that successfully launched with astounding success.

Regardless of having or not a license how do you make sure the first investment property sets you for success?

Having a solid GC to lean one as you start your first BRRRR project is going to be crucial to your success.

You may be able to see if a retailer still sells the 2024 version.If you can't get the one time purchase, you would need to see if the cost is beneficial.For real estate -  Quickbooks desktop > Quickbooks online because you can set up multiple entities within quickbooks desktop and not pay an additional cost per entity that Quickbooks online would charge you.Best of luck! 

That's how I became so successful as an investor agent.  

I’m open to ideas and keen to hear what approaches have worked well for others who’ve found success in real estate.
