Someone will eventually come across an opportunity that works for you.Example: I'm a real estate investor looking for a fixer-upper, single-family home or up to four units.

I purchased this home when I was 17 and slowly renovated it on the weekends.

A big issue however is the home next door.

The retirement/financial independence equation he uses is a paid off primary home, 500k in liquid assets (usually retirement, cash, and after tax brokerage account), and more than 1 source of income (part time job, real estate, social security for those of that age, dividends, etc.).

Corey I believe the additional text in DFA calls for the property to be used as primary residence or secondary home.

Thanks in advanceI would check out ERA or Heart and Home.

We see ourselves competing with national home builders in the markets we build in.

Low cost investment that fast forward 3-5 years it will be worth much more allowing you to pull out equity/cash to buy more.I see investors buying $350K homes only cash flowing $400 a month, so Yes 100% good deal.

Furthermore, entry level homes typically utilize less experienced real estate professionals and the new rules place emphasis on stronger creativity and negotiating skills. 

I plan on using the BRRRR method.I live in Jersey City, NJ, and the home prices are very high in this area.
