I appreciate the sun belt advice, that’s great. 

@Damon Lloyd Hi Damon, I'm a newer investor myself with one deal under my belt and working on my 2nd. 

.* Our children can inherit the houses and most likely have an easier time selling them.My questions are:* This strategy seems realistic, especially since we already have 13 under our belt, is this strategy realistic?

in parts of the northeast rust belt housing prices peaked in the 80s early 90s and still have never got back to those levels.then of course you have the out migration of home owners to the burbs and inner city is all rentals and low income and values plummet.

I've been using TaskRabbit as a platform, and since I'm interested in flipping homes down the line after getting 3-4 multifamily homes under my belt, I want to collaborate with flippers in South Florida.

We just wanted to get one under our belt to see if we like it.I plan to start a post outlining our process so others can see - and learn from - our mistakes, LOL!

Plus, if you decide to do one of the other strategies in the future (such as BRRR'ing or out of state investing), you'll be much more prepared to do it if you have a few HH's under your belt--a ton of the lessons you'll learn from a HH can be used to succeed in other areas of real estate ...in fact, I'd say that a HH should be a necessary prerequisite to the more advanced strategies (like flipping) for most folks!

We have one fix-and-flip under our belt, and are currently rehabbing the house we’re living in as well as adding an ADU (we don’t plan to sell this house). 

If I can get 4 or 5 TK properties under my belt I could likely leverage a few of them to afford some larger RE purchases when I am ready.

Suddenly, buying your permanent house with one rental under your belt becomes plausible because you have a job, some rental income, and you might have thousands of dollars of equity from that first property.
