Hey, welcome to real estate investing!

so you're recommending that my starting point should be finding a real estate agent, utilize theirbknowledge to learn about the process, and get referrals for good loan officers.

The markets have changed quickly, and what worked 5 years ago may differ significantly from what will drive success today.

House hacking is an incredible way to live affordably while building wealth through real estate.

Hey Bigger Pockets Community,As real estate investors, we focus on building wealth, creating passive income, and securing financial freedom.

No one wants to put in the effort, work, time and money, into a healthy habit or - for real estate - into a solid asset.

Since you’re focused on buy & hold multiplexes, consider networking with local investors, refining your underwriting skills, and researching markets with strong cash flow and appreciation potential.

Memphis is definitely a solid market known for steady growth and affordable housing.

Really interested in investing in this market and would accept a relatively low return (or even a break even scenario because i believe in continued appreciation potential here). 

@Stephanie Selby I recommend you evaluate the real estate first.
