(One went with another manager eventually, and the property is listed for $400/month less than we listed it, and the other finally got rented to a solo professional.)

I am a newer investor with a duplex and living in a SFH to eventually be a rental.

Eventually, I found real estate syndications and became a full time passive investor.  

The time value of money still favors acceleration, but only if you have a clear path to eventually utilizing these losses.Don't let your tax savings get trapped in passive activity loss limbo.

I attended the RALA 3-day training in Phoenix and took a couple of online courses as well, and while I found these courses to be very valuable in helping get a clearer understanding of the space and what it might take to be successful, I eventually I found it most beneficial to bring in a partner/advisor who has built residential assisted living facilities here in Texas and has been running them successfully.

Interest rates will eventually come down.

Just know that it is a "no days off" kind of business and very mechanical.I would suggest documenting your process via video so that eventually you can bring people on to replace the different hats you will be wearing.Keep in mind of these 5 components of any wholesale business.lead generation, deal sourcing, underwriting, marketing, transaction coordination.

I’m currently in the process of searching for my first property, which I hope to house hack and eventually convert into a long-term rental. 

@Dan AudinoFor path #1, is your eventual goal to rent out the property?

I just want to be involved and learn more so I could achieve more eventually.
