pressure washingfor a number of reasonsone that may not be as apparent, you'll achieve metrics that should impress near future collaborators -- if you pressure wash x number homes, y exterior square feet, and scale to a team of z.....whatever x, y, or z =, it will sound like a lot to other people who've done zero....reputation as a worker and a successful business/project-builder is valuable

Go out of your way to seek out opportunities to share knowledge and collaborate with others.

To get started, consider real estate education, networking, market research, finding a mentor, integrating technology, and prioritizing customer service.

Prioritizing cash flow, equity, STR, buy/hold, self managing, etc.

I have 10 LLCs and each with multiple members and it is a lot easier to issue K-1s to LLC partners and collaborate with them and your CPA.

Prioritize asset protection over interest rates.

If I were in your position, I'd prioritize pursuing my passion while managing a modest portfolio of rental properties in a way that doesn't overly demand my time but still contributes to portfolio growth.

With that being said, I am reaching out to seek guidance and potential partnership opportunities from experienced professionals or maybe even newbies who have just gotten their first deal.If there is anyone within your network willing to offer insights, share expertise, or explore potential collaboration, I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to connect.

I consider myself more personable than your prototypical accountant, and want to transition into the world of RE deal making, where I could interact with others, and utilize my capital to assist me in generating some passive income, slowly increasing my portfolio to the point where I do not need to work the 9-5 and prioritize spending time with family. 

This prioritizes consistent income.Expanding Your Options:Consider different property types: Multi-unit buildings or single-family homes with additional units (e.g., duplexes) can offer better cash flow potential compared to single-family homes.Look beyond traditional neighborhoods: Up-and-coming areas with revitalization projects can offer a balance of affordability and potential growth.
