I want to understand my possible options to get started with real estate. 1) Should I buy my first house first?

Additionally, we are open to exploring opportunities in other areas as well.We are particularly interested in:- Learning how to analyze these properties for cash flow potential- Understanding the local market dynamics and trends- Networking with experienced investors who can offer advice and mentorshipWe believe that with the right guidance and connections, we can make informed decisions that will set us on the path to financial independence.

Generally, the contract will outline your time frame for your option period.

I'm weighing the options between renting to a Section 8 tenant or a traditional renter.My goal is to rent the property for $1,100 to $1,200 per month.

My first investment was a Sandwich Lease Option.
