I often have new investors tout cash flow without considering all the cash offsets and, as such, what might seem like a great deal is really not so great.2. 

I have an idea of an initial investment and returns I would like to hit, but would love to speak with those of actual experience to see if my numbers are realistic.

(Doing this one well should help you with the following two.)The second would be to invest in your education on how real estate investing works.

Quote from @Kevin Cole: @Andrew BoscoI would like real estate to be a part of my wealth building strategy.

Started working on the exercise above as well this morning.

Going to try out PayRange, the Shine Pay is slightly more expensive and the one quote about the 20 units appears to be from shinepay as it is the only qoute they ever made... not sure which is better but both look like good options

@Sarah Rilling - I always like having a 1:1 conversation with the potential coach/mentor to get a flavor for how they work with people.... basically to see if their is a connection.

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

I see some larger single family homes in areas that appear to be zoned R2 that, at least from a physical perspective, seem like they could work for this.

They also benefit from strong schools, which can be a huge draw for long-term tenants.While you may not achieve high cash flow immediately in these areas, the property values and rents tend to appreciate steadily over time, aligning well with your goals.
