I just bought my first investment march of last year I gain over 50k in equity  .

I’m especially interested in residential rentals, STR's, or multifamily properties, but I’m open to exploring other areas as well.I’m here to connect with like-minded individuals, gain insights from experienced investors, and contribute however I can to this community.

1) If you've got guys willing to front all the money while you gain experience and make some money then that's a no brainer.

In the meantime I would put the money in a low risk account gaining 4-5% which for $250k would be around $1k/month.Hey Chris - what is driving the sentiment not to buy anything right now?

Byoung, Since you've already narrowed down your markets, focus on getting prequalified and meeting with a few local realtors to gain a better understanding of where and how to invest in these areas.

Managing your own property and finding tenants is a great way to gain hands-on experience.

Forming a business to protect my assets is an area I need to gain more knowledge in.

They take good care of the properties, but there's not enough attention given to pricing strategy and they spend money like nobody's business (not a problem when they were spending their own money on the master lease model, but a BIG problem when they were suddenly spending OUR money as the PM).

No Capital gains tax if I sell one day either. 

I do not believe I am RentRedi's target consumer as I have more needs than others and that has been true for other business relationships I tried to build in my time, but I hate when things have to end on sour notes and the fact that it took publicly criticizing the service to get attention is more than disappointing on RentRedi's part as a service business.
