Should I be patient and wait for the 10%ROI or should I be satisfied with the $300 cash flow?

he basically said you can build about anything with a cordless drill & circular saw.then I watched couple safety videos on circular saw. 

Cashflow is the safety net; equity is the wealth.

I've been interested in Macon bc of the lower price point, but am not sure of the safety factor. 

Thanks for starting this thread, *definitely not an expert so I want to follow this and hear people's thoughts.But my rough thought is I don't know lol and it's a great time to be patient, stick to great numbers, and try and learn from this experience.I know inventory still seems to be relatively low across the board in this state, and demand is high so from that stand point I can imagine prices staying high for a while until this imbalance changes.I also feel while I'm not trying to buy multi families, or certain single family homes I wouldn't completely stop buying in almost any market I just think you have to be mindful of what you're buying and really run your numbers like always.In the meantime, I'm trying to stay focused on finishing up a live-in flip and getting it to market while the comps are still very good, selling off a 2-family we intended to hold while the inventory is extremely low and demand is high, and focusing on buying more intelligently; deals that truly work as both rentals and flips to be a bit more protected (this is a goal anyways, but it becomes more important when the market is hot overall)

Be patient and wait until you've found the right deal.

Couple things I value: someone who communicates well and is patient with someone as a first time buyer.

Either way, you should be finding people who are succeeding in real estate and figure out any way you can learn from them.Be patient, work hard, stay in this community and do what you can to learn from other people's experience.

My advise in short is to build your REI skills and portfolio while maintaining the safety net of the dentistry.My story is around working in high tech, great income but getting burned out.

Should I actively seek to find a property I can "afford" now and house hack it considering I'm paying $800/mo in rent to someone else, or should I just be patient and finish my studies and then jump in with a steady income stream?
