You already have a pretty solid portfolio, so adding another property and generating more cash flow might accelerate your wealth in a way that the Roth can’t match, especially if you’re planning to transition to real estate full-time soon.The long-term game for you seems to be building that cash flow and equity in real estate, and it sounds like taking the hit on the Roth 401(k) could be worth it for the immediate returns.

I'm wondering how to best go about getting into real estate.

Certainly nothing ground-breaking in terms of ideas here, however I'll be very hands on (and on site) during the process to make sure that every step of the way is executed to a high standard and very carefully.Once I've hopefully developed a successful track record and gained experience, my next goal would be to move on to commercial assets (think multi-family, industrial etc) so that I can leverage my existing investor network and real estate knowledge to raise 3rd party equity and take on bigger projects.

There are many ways to go about this, but one of the cheapest is to look on Google maps for buildings that look like 4-plexes.

Is there a better way to find out how many existing units are there in each town, or do I need to drive to each facility and ask?

All the best!

If structured well, this can be a great way to get started without much cash.

I'm looking to categorize my buyers and blast out a text message to specific groups whenever I get a property that fits their criteria.I'm sure services like this exist out there but I'm looking for the most cost effective one and I'd rather hear the best from you guys rather than from the salesman pitching their product.Does anyone use a platform like this and how does it perform for you?

My profile has my YouTube channel and I have an episode that shows you exactly how to create the comp set and look at amenities that matter, what others are paying for cleaning and how other listings look - that way you can see how to best market your property.
