Hello forum,I am attempting to start this new journey of real estate investing,and would like to get into buy and hold multi-family rental properties to start.The BRRRR strategy seems very appropriate, but I am just having trouble with the financing portion.I can potentially have access to around 25k to use for the purchase and rehab of a property, maybe 30k if needed but that money would come from a hard money lender (probably my dad and grandma).I personally have around 15k myself I could use right away.

Obviously the risk is that in attempting to convert these leases you lose some occupancy (the building is currently at 63%) or worse case all of the current tenants.

And by the way, the best guys are mostly already millionaires and running their own rental portfolios, law of supply and demand, baby.Try to pass costs for maintenance items to tenants with some of the misguided magic-spreadsheet schemes I see here on BP, and you're guaranteed to see the most idiotic rigging attempts to fix problems you could possibly imagine.

My end-state is to start my own PM company to manage my own investments and other investors portfolios in my area.So now to my question(s):In regards to eXp Realy, do they have a non-compete or anything in their agent agreement that would prevent me from doing PM while attempting to work as an agent in the evenings/weekends?

Action items: I am currently saving money, doing more research, and attempting to connect with other like-minded individuals.For those of you in the Houston area (Katy, Woodlands, Houston proper, Pasadena, etc.), is anyone interested in connecting?

I have a letter sent to the town manager after many attempts to visit them they need something in writing.

But to add a little more color here, because I'll be investing out of state, and with it being my first investment, I am willing to give up some cash flow for a "safer" neighborhood/deal - I'm attempting to simply "get on base" as opposed to "hit a home run" in my first at bat.I have identified Denver as a market I'm interested in based on long-term macro economic factors, so while I recognize that it's already pretty expensive, my time-horizon is 20-30 years, which should still yield good investments. 

I'm not able to do so, after multiple attempts.

So, I recently had my first tenants move in February 1st in Washington State. There are 2 tenants, they've been here about 3 weeks and today I learned that they're not getting along and I believe that one of them inte...

We want to purchase a 3-4 unit MF and attempt to have no down payment while still purchasing the property under the in-state LLC.
