Hi @Cody Richard and @Jazmine Bryant I too am in the beginning stages of real estate investing and would love to be a part of an accountability group!

Right now, the next property will be my 10th FHA loan, and I will need to secure financing elsewhere going forward, which is why i have paused at this stage to make sure I have my entities in order.

JonesIt's all about personal preference and life stage.

But in most major metro markets I would not count on much short term capital appreciation at this stage.

Hey guys and girls,I am just in the beginning stages of real estate investing.

I'm in the early stages of preparing to buy my first single family home.

Rod puts on a great event and I rarely miss an opportunity to participate on stage.

Thank you everyone for the feedback, I did think of going with the multi family route, I live in phoenix the east part of the valley and with my budget of $290k so when it comes to the multi family anything I can afford is in a rougher area that at least 40 mins away. so at this stage in life I am looking for a single family. my sweet spot is between $250k-290k, however this price range is very competitive. 

Another thing you pointed out is the timeline of reinvesting this money would be daunting for me at this beginning stage of my learning curve. 

Absolutely no need to over complicate at this stage.
