@Jemini LeckieRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

These small, individual actions lead to big impact.

Since graduating in 2021, I moved to Washington, DC to pursue a civil engineering career and am now feeling like I am in more of a position to start learning and pursuing real estate investing seriously.

I'm passionate about teaching real estate in underserved communities and helping others build wealth through knowledge.Looking Ahead: I’m seeking local and out of state investors, lenders, and professionals in the Atlanta area for STRs and MTRs, and in Birmingham, Phoenix, Columbus, Macon, and Augusta, GA for long-term rentals and small multifamily deals.Let’s connect if you share my vision for creating real estate that not only generates wealth but also builds lasting, positive change.

It's an amazing market to be in because you can still find the 1% rule and positive cash flow while getting amazing appreciation potential.

You pay $150,000 down and borrow $1.35 million from the second seller in a first position lien.

@Sean DillonAt 18, you're in a prime position to start building wealth with low expenses and plenty of time to scale.

Luckily you are in a better position than a lot of folks.I like the idea of paying a neighbor kid.

My experience has been overwhelmingly positive, but—like any market—it depends on your approach, risk tolerance, and the team you have in place.Detroit is unique.

I know that RTR positions themselves as “turnkey” but the reality is that they are more of a hybrid model - they set you up with everything you need and facilitate relationships with lenders, insurance, property managers, and so forth - but they are not the actual service providers.
