No matter how well you plan to build up your reserves it just takes a while to build them up in the real world.

I feel I'm ready to start wholesaling to build up a nest egg for my own investments and would love to meet buyers looking in the Charleston,  SC to Savannah, Ga areas and between. 

It's normal to feel a mix of excitement and nerves – it's all part of the journey.With your short-term rental in NY no longer an option, flipping could be a solid entry point to build up some capital for future ventures like buy-and-hold properties.Choosing the right market to start is key.

Attend your local REI meetups to build up a strong network and feel free to reach out and connect with everyone in the community.

Any detail you google about sound-proofing floor assemblies are going to show you a build up of way more than 3/4”.

if your goal is to build up a small but mighty portfolio of rental properties, then "time IN the market beats timING the market." don't wait for the best conditions to buy. just find deals that make sense with the current rates. it won't be as easy, but everyone's doing it. but don't bank on being able to refi later at a lower rate. that's a bad backup plan. 

If you have the time to commit to looking for off market deals, you can certainly find some opportunity to build up capital.

Over the next few years continue to buy a few more properties to build up the monthly cash flow then use the increased income to buy our acreage property.Our area is projected to continue to grow and appreciate fairly quickly so we are afraid of getting priced out of buying our little farm if we wait too long.
