@Desiree DoubroxThis sounds amazing! 

This is an amazing community to grow and learn about real estate investing. 

So what you have to do is becoming part of that club and provide an amazing experience so that you can charge well above the market rate, irrespective of what the market rate is.

The 3rd thing that has reshaped my entire opinion of the tax advantages of real estate, is seeing my 88 grandfather holding five quite valuable illiquid properties, long story short it’s a mess, it’s causing family drama, he is in zero shape physically or mentally to manage them, the all have cap-ex needs, again these were amazing buy’s literally multiple properties he bought for under 50k that are now worth over a million but there is probably a time and a place for owning real estate, so I don’t really have a need to own more than maybe a few properties into retirement.

You are looking for a way out right now, not a way of life and a complement to your day job.

Financially it's amazing, but there are a few things to keep a look out for.1. 

That’s amazing!

Quote from @Brandon Tusing: Hello BP Community, I currently self manage my duplex and have amazing tenants. 

I am ready to collaborate and (literally) venture into amazing and profitable relationships! 

I have been an agent for 35 years and started my investing career many years ago and am amazed that so few agents take advantage of the leverage and opportunities we have over others to build wealth and passive income.
