I'm interested in learning about rental property investment, looking to build a rental portfolio, exploring real estate investing to replace my income.

Ok so a diff path then my previous post.I also wanted to invest in real estate but just assume( and bet is probably true) that most of the people that find truly good investments have  either or all of the following the most "average joes" don't:1.

The city’s robust economic growth and steady population influx continue to drive strong rental demand, making it an ideal choice for long-term investment success.Best of luck!

Quote from @Kyle Barnhart: I live near Phoenix and looking to invest locally.

I'm very new to investing and weighing which options would benefit me the most.Option 1:  Use the cash as down payment on another primary residence and rent out the current.

We invest in 8 states currently. 

Call every local investor agenda (look at the agents that have investment property listings and call them) and call every local landlord that owns multiple properties (you can get lists off of Deal Machine).

So the question is whether your house is a good rental investment long term.

Mostly due to the fact my spouse and I agreed on her to have zero involvment in any sort of RE investing (and its our home) I think once you have a good 6-12 months of reserve cash (operating expenses for your own life saved as a back up incase things go bad) save enough liquidity to get the ball rolling on your first invesment.
