Remember, the notion of amassing wealth without investing is a dangerous myth perpetuated by self-proclaimed experts.

Also not sure if you have a retirement fund but you may be able to setup a self directed fund and use a portion of that money for a real estate related investment. definitely not saying your plan is bad or that these are better just giving my thoughts. 

I don't like having a job or boss but found them to be necessary evils until my cash flow was sufficient to quit. 

I might invest in a self-storage facility deal next, which should serve me well during the impending recession -- the four Ds (divorce, dislocation, death, disaster). 

There are the self service options as well as drop off and pick up options.

Over time you’ll see a lot of people say the same names and you end up with a self-confirming list of recommendations. 

If you can hold onto these properties over time (ie cash flow sufficient to not lose money), you have already "won". 

It might be an improvement over TikTok influencers and self-proclaimed gurus, but not by much.

Cash from a self directed IRA How did you add value to the deal?

However if you plan on buying 3-4units, there is a trigger rule for FHA, it is called the self sufficiency test.
