Markets with balanced property prices and strong rental demand will be key.While rising prices and interest rates may impact cash flow, with careful deal analysis and a focus on areas with good appreciation potential, it's achievable.

The good news is that with the right approach, you can also achieve positive cash flow in these markets.Ultimately, success in real estate investing hinges on selecting a growing market, a desirable neighborhood, and building a strong support team.

If talking to more builders does not work out to join you on transaction #1+ and you have enough capital and heavy rehab experience along with a GC / builder doing the project many lenders out there will offer you a lower leverage loan for your first project on your own.  60% finished value and 75% LTC is probably achievable without a builder in your company for the loan. 

Hi, I’m looking for advice from the professionals who have already achieved what I’m looking to accomplish.

I’m  getting tired of seeing small mom and pop operators believing they can operate through title only and achieve the same separation and  liability protections.

Prior to investing in anything for myself, I also set a clear expectation of a result that I require- mine was to acquire a BRRRR property, which I was able to achieve.

Would I achieve this if I transfer the property to an llc after buying it?

A great high functioning portfolio along with a decent W2 goes a very long way to achieving your goals. 

Since then, I’ve been listening to BiggerPockets, On The Market, and Real Estate Rookie, and I’m currently reading The Multifamily Millionaire by Brandon Turner.A bit about myself:I'm a 31-year-old software engineer looking to become a long-term multifamily real estate investor (REI) and achieve FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early).

Some will be over-achieved and some will be under-achieved.I don't put much credence in the published returns.
