That is my day job.

Hello all -I have been thinking of getting into realestate investment for a while with a goal of generating income stream (today my only income Is through my job - I make decently as a senior exec). 

@Sophanara Khoeun you mention that you have no time as you have a 9-5 job - so, do 99% of investors!

If you are accredited, the best thing to do would be to invest 50k into a syndication and soak up all the knowledge of how it works from an experienced operator before you make the decision whether it's your plan.

By year three, I aim to cover all operating costs and, by year four, to generate positive cash flow.Experienced investors say it’s crucial to persevere through the initial challenges while gradually building credibility through positive reviews, and I believe them.

But as of today, I am strongly considering converting it into a single-family rental because based on some Zillow comps I’ve seen I could get upwards of $8000.00 per month which is more than double my mortgage, taxes and operating expenses.

I'm sure most of them believe they are doing good, however I assure you, you can have a much more legitimate sales job.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

Do you have a W2 job in Atlanta?

If you would really like to explore the sector : why not go and message 10 to 20 operators and offer to look after their property or clean their property for a month in exchange for their knowledge and details on the numbers.
