I am currently working on finalizing my goals and market analysis.

I will have to go over everything of what I want to do, and then have a talk with her to see if her goals align with mine.

I love finding deals and helping people pursue their goals. 

My suggestion if your goal is to free up some equity to use for another purchase - start small with the single family home with a cash out refinance.

It’s awesome to see your passion for real estate investing and your clear goals for the future.

Are there any creative things that could be done to get to my goals or from your standpoint,  or is it pretty well a firm "not gonna fly" type scenario? 

@Yamil NafRaising $160,000 for your short-term rental (STR) venture is a great goal, and there are several ways to structure the deal to minimize your upfront costs while attracting investors.

It really depends on your comfort level and long-term goals, but even if you want to get into multifamily long-term, SFR may be the best option to gain some comfortability.

Just wanted to introduce myself.My name is Ariel, I am 32 years old (this Thursday), and I am making my first steps as a real estate investor.As I live abroad, most if not all of my work would be remote, and right now I am focusing on Jacksonville, FL.My main goal for this year is to fix and flip  at least 2 SF's properties, and for the next few years to increase this number, maybe do some MF, and possibly to also BRRR when I raise enough of my own capital.At the moment, my biggest challenge is the fact that I am remote, so I could use some help from a local realtor or management company.It's so amazing to know this community  exists, and I am thrilled to actually take part in it

Welcome Hunter,  this is a good place to meet others with similar goals.
