I'm 17 and have been trying to do outbound lead generation, and safe to say, it's been a horrible experience.

HOAs and their attorneys had all the power and used that power to bully homeowners into compliance while simultaneously gouging them horribly with exorbitant fines and fees, then foreclosed on the property if the owners refused or weren't able to pay up.

Zach walked me right into two horrible investments.

This project has horribly gone wrong, and I cannot sell at this stage.

Even if I own 5 properties out of state, I would NOT have the time to fly out and deal with 1 horrible tenant making my life hell.

If I were in your shoes, I would do the following:- set 6 months worth of income aside in a HYSA to save it for a rainy day (this will help shield you if you lose your job, or if something goes horribly awry with your investment properties)- open a Bank on Yourself life insurance policy (this is a specific type of high dividend paying whole life insurance where you can borrow against the cash value in your policy at any time and the money will continue growing as if you never took out a loan.

Horrible and slimy, for the most part.  

You need to tell the tenants afraid of combo units that these aren’t the horrible units from Europe over the last 10 years.

The issue is that a train track runs behind it and the vibration is horrible (literally feels like an earthquake day and night).

Acquired over $5M in real estate - which includes the path of buying a duplex with my VA loan, a SFH 5 months later with a 1% down loan, a 4-plex with my VA loan 2 years later, built a custom dream home with an AirBnB suite, completed a horribly over budget BRRRR SFR, completed another SFR that went way over budget, sold my quad for a 4-unit office commercial space, sold my 4-plex for a luxury cabin in Oklahoma AND most recently bought a brand new home to use part time while visiting my girlfriend/future wife in Florida.All of this wouldn't have ever happened if my butt didn't get dumped.
