My goal is to continue to acquire more cash flowing rentals to eventually leave my day job and just self manage the rental properties. 

Quote from @Noah Wright: Quote from @Drew Goodrow: This is good information, I also have a goal of doing my first flip in 2025.

What are your current goals or challenges in real estate?

For example, population growth in certain neighborhoods and increased investor activity have created opportunities for both long-term rentals and value-add deals.If you’re torn between wholesaling and holding long-term rentals, I’d suggest thinking about your long-term goals.

My goal would be to start within 1-2 years and get some more experience with the construction process, project management, financing/budgeting, etc.

I’ve been working with real estate investors for many years, and I’d love to hear more about your goals.

Ultimately, balancing your student debt and financial goals will help guide the best decision.Good luck!

For example, I often recommend working with vendors who specialize in rental property maintenance or have experience with rental landscaping to keep your property looking great without overspending.Start Small and SmartFocus on buying a property that fits your budget and investing goals.

Our goal is to snowball our efforts and scale quickly over the next few years.I’ve read a few books on real estate investing, and I’ve heard great things about BiggerPockets as a resource and community for learning and networking.

I focus on finding deals that meet specific criteria, and I always keep my underwriting conservative to make sure the numbers work even on a worst case scenario.Right now, my big goal is to land my first property, ideally 20+ units in Florida, and build a strong portfolio from there.
