Quote from @Jason Burkart: Quote from @Linda Weygant: A few issues come into play on this.1. 

You don't want to be so focused on getting into the game that you leverage the start of your entire life just to do it.

Owning a duplex at 20 is a huge accomplishment, and it’s inspiring to see you’re already planning your next move.From my perspective, real estate investing is a long-term game focused on building equity, paying down debt, and maintaining stability over chasing short-term cash flow.

In this game, sticking to one property type is your fastest path to mastery.

I do not wish to divulge that here simply because I don't want the thieves to know how I play my hand. 

Looking to get into the BRRRR game and trying to estimate how much renovations will cost for an average distressed 2-3 bedroom home roughly 1200 square feet or less.

Once that's covered, you can go all-in on those fabulous renovations.Effective marketing plays a pivotal role in attracting tenants and increasing property appeal.

For C/C- neighborhoods you usually need to scale to 10+ doors; it's a numbers game. 

For example I know many who are now just lending because they are getting 10-12% short term which is far better than any cap rate on real estate. you do not have the equity upside as you do real estate but its a way to play the short game to see what happens over the next 12-24 months and decide when you want to buy.

I'm new to the real estate investment game and I'm a bit nervous about dipping my toes into unknown waters.
