Have a steady 9-5 job but looking to branch into real estate investing as well. 

I am also planning on using a property manager as I have an 8 - 5 full time job.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

It takes time and effort to build up to the point where you’re not relying on a W2 job, but starting now puts you on the right path.If you have any questions about investing or need guidance as you get started, don’t hesitate to reach out.

I do not flip so I understand your reluctance to want to flip (it’s a job, taxes, selling costs, etc), but it seems like a much better flip than brrrr.  

I really want too help out people and I don't really really like a 9-5 job I want something different.

Anyway have a nice holiday week.. 

Get a nice downpayment (lower LTV better)Hope this helps

It's an amazing market here with so much incoming growth due to population growth, job growth, and companies moving/developing here!

However, a multifamily purchase could work quite nicely.
