Immediately sends links for folks to apply for credit and links to docusign their personal contract.

Looking forward to connect with like-minded investors and RE professionals online or in person.

Does that mean it has to be available for my own personal use for half of the first year? 

We have solid tenants in our LTR so we are looking at buying more homes to do as STR/MTR hybrid and looking to learn more about how to use our investments and money more wisely ie BRRRR, etc.

Initially, I was thinking I could rent this out to a person/couple or to two friends who might want to be roommates.

Either begin by paying your cell phone bill or having your parents put you as an approved person on one of their credit cards if they have good credit.

Naturally we are a bit nervous, but we have solid exit strategies in place which helps to reassure our confidence!

Personal Factors: Consider your skills (renovation vs. property management), availability of capital, and risk tolerance when choosing a strategy.In today's market, both strategies can be viable depending on your goals and circumstances.

Thanks A lot has been written on BP about R2R and everything looks solid.I'm a big believer in sticking with 1 market until you build a large enough portfolio and diversification is justified.Like with many investments and not just turnkey, it's important to build a large portfolio.The time and associated risk isn't worth buying 1 or 2 properties if you expect a significant impact on your bottom line monthly cashflow.Most turnkey properties are sold at fair market value or slightly above.Nothing wrong with this as long as property management is solid and does their job with integrity.Buying turnkey you won't have built in equity so no growth can be manufactured and you will have to wait for the market to grow to see an equity gain.Thus, IMO it's important to have mindset where you endeavor to build a large enough portfolio so the monthly cashflow makes sense and the portfolio becomes safer.Much success

You can build a solid team if you start by finding an investment focused realtor who sources deals and has a large network to provide you with.
