Quote from @Shaun Ortiz: One thing that keeps coming up is how some investors start with BRRRR but eventually shift to other asset classes—self-storage, mobile home parks, even commercial spaces.

I am getting started in real estate investing soon, and I want to plan for the best course of action.

I did that, but its always better to have someone guide you to start something.

Quote from @Paul LaValley: I live in Tucson and know Tucson really really well so I want to start here and then jump up to include Phoenix area. 

It's starting to happen already.5.

Quote from @Anne Christensen: I'm just starting my real estate adventure, but I do rent my basement on my primary home. 

As you move into your townhouse in Odenton and eventually aim for multifamily properties, you might want to start refining your metrics (like cash-on-cash return and cap rate) to compare performance across different property types.Looking forward to seeing how your portfolio evolves.

When we moved, we turned it into a rental, hoping this would be the start of our real estate journey—something we’d like to continue once my husband retires.Some key details:My husband is active duty and will retire in 3 years.We have one final move coming up this summer to Raleigh, NC.Our current debts are crippling us—the high interest makes it tough to stay afloat every month.The plan me and my husband are thinking bout:Sell the rental property.Use the proceeds to pay off all our debts, set aside emergency funds and a down payment for our next home.Free up $1,500/month from debt payments, and that also can stash in a high-yield savings account.Regain full VA loan entitlement, allowing us to purchase a multifamily home and use the house hacking strategy for up coming move.Avoid capital gains tax, since April marks five years of ownership, and the tenant’s lease ends in May.This wasn’t our original plan, and we hate the idea of using our equity to pay off debt.

Tell us a little about what you are looking for to get started!

The truth is, they will keep playing games and milk you for every penny they can, then they will leave the house a mess and cost more with cleaning, repairs, and vacancy.
