I’m a licensed realtor, an investor in the making, and someone who believes in making something out of nothing.I started in wholesaling before getting my license, and now I’m grinding to become a consistent producer while positioning myself to rebuild as an investor.

I'm now aware of any "lifetime" limits for FHA loans, but you're required to live in the property for at least 1 year after the loan starts.

This approach would allow me to learn with each deal and minimize initial risks.2️⃣ Go Straight to Multifamily: Instead of starting with SFHs, I could spend time learning the multifamily business and go directly for a 20+ unit building, maximizing scalability from the start.I have no experience with either strategy.If you were in my position, which strategy would you choose and why?

I started listening to the BiggerPockets podcast in late 2023 and have since heard every episode. 

Quote from @Rushi Shah: Hi everyone, my partner and I are renting right now and looking to start our landlord journey.

Your financial background is a huge asset, and it’s great that you’re starting locally in Milwaukee while keeping an eye on future expansion.If you’re looking to connect with like-minded investors, the Rental Property Association of Wisconsin is a fantastic resource for networking with rental portfolio owners, accessing legal resources, and finding contractors. https://www.aasew.org/For mentors, funding sources, and flippers, the Milwaukee REIA is another great group to explore. https://www.milwaukeereia.com/I’m a member of both and find unique value in each—maybe we’ll cross paths at a future meeting!

From the start, something seemed off with the seller and/or the seller's agent.
