Quote from @Stacey Wells: Hey everyone,I’ve been researching different funding options for real estate investments and business expansion.

So 2 W-2s, two charges. 3 P&Ls from different properties, 3 charges. 4 inputs for interest bearing accounts, 4 charges.

Look at buying my first investment property (probably a house in the 100-150k range) and begin looking for a tennant.I can imagine there a lot of different theories/ideas with what one could do here--I am just curious to see what other people think.

REI is filled with lots of shiny objects and you will success stories from all these different investing methods and it can be hard to stick to a path.

I currently operate in 10 different markets across the mid-south and mid-west. 

You've likely used tons of different CRMs coming from sales, and HubSpot looks and feels the part.

First red flag is if they say that they will shop your deal with a few different investors.  

Sometimes using some contractors for one project will be good and then switching to another contractor for another project is typical because each scope of work is different. 

I won’t pretend to be an expert by any means as I have only been at this for 4 years and have 5 properties, but I thought it could be helpful to share actual numbers and different ways to look at them.

Because investing in NY real estate is a whole different game with taxes, regulations, and all that fun stuff.
