I started my journey at your age too and I feel that I could give some valuable insight to you as what I did at your stage in life.

On top of the obvious, sourcing/analysis/resources part.After closing hundreds of deals, FIRE Realty Team has refined the process of helping investors get from analysis paralysis and the "I can't find anything" stage -- to owning cash flowing portfolios.Typically, I'm not one to reveal FIRE Realty Team "secrets" to non - FIRE Realty Team clients, as the above post sheds some insight...but I also know we have a good thing going and it makes a lot of people a lot of money so it's probably good to "give a taste" of how we can help investors.Can't promise everyone a no-rehab, perfect BRRRR, but can definitely promise, we are very good at helping investors build investment portfolios.

If you go Roth or cash out, most likely you should stage it over 5+ years to save on taxes.

Even if you are believer in "training" tenants (a phrase and mode of thinking I personally find incredibly offensive when applied to adult citizens, rather than children or pets), recognize that this tenant is past the "training" stage, as she will soon be past the "tenant" phase!  

Lot costs shouldn't exceed a third of the home value, 20/25% is better, if it exceeds that your buyers will have financing issues with excess land values.Use J.
