You'll likely get a lot of people in the forums promoting mid-west, OH, and the south.

A lot of coaches (if they're good) should be able to shorten the learning curve for you individually, by understanding precisely where you're at and tailoring a plan for you... but ultimately, I wouldn't lose sight of the fact that you'll still have to put in the time and get your own first-hand experience with it - that's where the real, tangible learning happens.

This is a tangible way to do it in most markets, even very good ones like Nashville, but Cali this is different.

@Natalie Vane I am a HUGE promoter of house hackingBut you're married, want kids eventually, and want to do all this living with roommates?

and any contact info.I'm not allowed to self-promote here.

Unfortunately, I have quickly realized the mortgage is much too steep a payment to promote a net positive cashflow even with all rooms rented.

Thankfully I have friends and family that have done well, so I think I can pull out a sizeable fund $500K+) without going the syndication route, but I appreciate the comment.Syndicators usually get what in slang is called “promote”.  

Super higher leverage that the purchase can't be approved by agency loan.In all practicallity , the era of 2016-2020 by aggregate should only produce 7-8% IRR if one correctly and conservatively.They targeted the naives investor in biggerpocket that lacks basic real estate valuation.The real problem is really the era of 2015-2020 where folks are treating CRE just like OTCBB pink stock and promoting it as a safe haven.

You have considerably less wall space, and trying to fill furniture into that one big space is often awkward resulting in a lot of wasted space that does not really do anything.And while these open floorplans are often promoted as "family friendly" I have come to the conclusion that they are a double edged sword in that respect.

Please no promotions.
