I am a 37 year old high school basketball coach that is not very happy with where I am financially and am seeking a way out of living paycheck to paycheck.

Research shows that 36% of U.S. households rent, and 35% of those—approximately 14 million—live in single-family homes.

Do you live in Wisconsin?

If you're comfortable living where you are, equity in your current property or your savings rate would be the two other ways to get your next one which is going to be much slower.

I actually just did a live stream yesterday on my channel (youtube.com/@brady_morgan) that went over this exactly.

Right now I'm living in Baltimore, still working 9-5 W-2.

Is this a home that you are currently living in?

The reason to have comparables is if you are representing someone or perhaps purchasing a house for yourself to live in.

Just google the following: - special assessment - zombie condos - Florida condos (look for recent news)Since you are not living near the properties anyways, why not look in a landlord friendly state where the purchase prices are lower?

@Ken M. we live in one, it has an attached unit, but with a door that passes through from both units.
