Read,Read,Read, get crystal clear on what your long term goals are. then find out how to achieve them.what types of properties are you looking for?

Thanks Nicole and Crystal, very helpful

@Crystal Chaillou I would love to read/listen to the self managing seminar you are developing.

Come up with some crystal clear criteria, and once you have your vision take action.

Depending on what happens with SALT taxes and your tax situation, you might be able to deduct the interest, or some of it.But, if you were able to conservatively invest it in the stock market and cover your interest (tax costs aside or included), that would make it worth.Again, its really what your "crystal ball" says will happen in the future, and are you okay with when your "crystal ball" is incorrect.Sorry, I don't have a straight answer, but I hope this helps. 

Hello Everyone,Wanted to get advise on if I should consider Section 8 for a triplex I have in Crystal City, TX.

@Michael DubovskyThere is no 'best area' to invest in.Each area is different and has their pros / cons.I think it is your job to identify what your 'CCC(Crystal Clear Criteria)'(Price of home, property type, asset class) before investors can suggest an area for you to invest in.

Taking the advice from Brandon turner he mentions you need to have your crystal clear criteria as this will narrow down and tune in what you should start looking for.My CCC would relate towards my goal of beginning my momentum train through house hacking1- primary residence, anywhere from single to four plex depending on if I have the capital to.2-It will be in the same city or nearby from where I currently work in Palmdale CA. 3- condition, not to sure to be honest if I get a fixer upper what repels me from this is not having to capital to fix it.

@Crystal Wilson max out the cash from the equity and buy as many rental units as you can.

I have a rockstar agent in my market who is investor friendly and automatically sends me listing that meet my Crystal Clear Criteria (shoutout multifamily millionaire).
