I sold an apartment building and as I lived in the building was always there when my realtor showed it to prospective buyers. 

I'm planning on buying a small multifamily first and foremost so I have a place to live and then will either buy a single family or another multi family depending on what I can find/fits my criteria at the time.

While I may not have direct investing experience yet, real estate is in my blood, and I’ve spent years running numbers, learning the process, and preparing to make my first deal.Right now, I’m looking for: ✔ Smaller properties (4–8 units) that I can finance on my own✔ Larger properties (10–20+ units) that I am aware will require a more structured operational approach and strategic partnerships ✔ Opportunities near the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) in Edinburg that align with my financial goals and my mission to support veteransBeyond investing, my long-term goal is to develop a transition housing program for student veterans—a place where veterans can live in a strong community while navigating college, career development, and civilian life.

As I build my career as an agent, I’m also passionate about real estate investing, specifically with a goal of purchasing multi-family, buy-and-hold properties where I can live in one unit and rent out the others.I’m here to network, learn from experienced investors, and contribute to the community.

We paid off our primary home last year and have been slowly getting the courage to jump into the investing market where we live in the Pacific Northwest.

Convert the property you are living in now to your second rental, and buy a new home for yourself. 

When I tried to get it when my side of the family found out and tried ti take over reverser mortgage payments to bank because she had died it was to late so they sold the house to Hud and then other reverse mortgage companies but a relative still lives there so they can't kick them out.
