and see what skills you might have to add some value as a side hustle.Things started to happen organically as I got more involved in the Chicago real estate market, and I am confident they will for you, too, in Seattle!

My focus is on Georgia, where I plan to build a diverse portfolio across various parts of the state.My strategy involves long-term rentals (LTRs), buying and holding properties, and seeking both cash flow and future capital appreciation.

@Taylor Davila,I'm not in the Louisville market, but how I figured out potential vacancy and pricing is by using several tools and even looking at airbnb.

If you only have $25k to your name, and you have investors that understand the impact potentially losing that $25k would mean to you, they very well could say $25k is enough.As for encumbering a property you are syndicating with a second mortgage for your capital, no.

Are you primarily seeking passive income, capital appreciation or a combination of both?

If the property is marketed too high, you should be getting this feedback from the PM. 

I’ve been investing in the Tampa market for over 20 years, and in just the past year, I've bid on several mid-size apartment buildings and at least a dozen duplexes.

With your RE LLC, you could seek out a business line of credit to access capital for expanding. 

Why buy a $900K home to only clear $500 a month when you can buy a $250K duplex that offers the same cash flow.The price to cash flow ratio has to make sense if you want to maximize your capital and spread your liquid reserves for down payments.

And she was telling me the prices don't make much sense around the Seattle area so she is interested in the San Antonio market instead.
