I appreciate the encouragement—I'm excited to learn from and connect with investors in this community.Right now, I’m primarily focused on house hacking in the LA market, but I’m open to exploring out-of-state opportunities later in my career.

I plan to manage the properties myself until it conflicts with my regular job.I would appreciate any advice on these markets to ensure success and connect with local investors.    

I assume you currently have a residential mortgage that does not have a pre-payment penalty.

The money that you end up owing to repay the loan over the 5 year term is now post income tax money unlike how you traditionally are supplying your 401k with pre-tax money.  

I have a lot of good information on the KC multifamily market that I can send you. 

➡️Harness the power of branding and marketing.

For me it’s building connections with buyers in a new market. 

The real power of single family residential comes with stable, consistent markets that chug along, have good rental base/demand and growth potential. 

Older homes that aren’t elevated could suffer major damage when the next storm hits.Many expect market saturation in the coming months, as flippers are snapping up flood-damaged properties.

Your “don’t evict strategy” could only make sense in a market that literally hates landlords.
