My long term goal is to make RE a healthy part of my portfolio and become financial independent early so I can practice medicine because I love to do it and not because I need to pay the bills.

Also, if done correctly and strategically, buying at a discount, rehabbing, renting, refinancing, and repeating, would allow me to build a healthy portfolio, generate a little cash flow, build equity over time, maybe 1031 exchange (defer taxes) some of the smaller properties for a larger multifamily property that cash flows more, and builds more long term equity. 

You can expect progress to be slow at the start but if you put your head down and work there is a good chance you can build up a healthy following within 6-12 months.  

If I'm lucky, maybe we can get a little healthy debate going. ;-)

Reducing tenant turnover (really reducing vacancy periods) goes a long way toward maintaining a healthy income stream.

If the heath scare issue occurred a month of two earlier the entire project could have turned into a train wreck, so plan head, even if your partner looks young and healthy.

Narrow down your REI options using these criteria and hone your research that way. if you're honest with yourself about what you and your family are looking to gain from your investment, besides a healthy ROI, you'll find your direction pretty quickly.Also, since you mentioned the Morris podcast (which I have heard good things about) I would suggest you check out the thread with investor experiences if you haven't already. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/92/topics/320...As a new investor, you need to be on the look out for things that seem to good to be true, any providers (but, sadly, especially so-called 'turnkey' providers) that don't communicate, only accept cash, can't or won't offer data-based information upfront, don't have a physical office to visit in the market they invest in, or have a "hottest deal in town, will sell out soooooon!!!"

I am looking to do genuine wholesaling, renovate and resell, and to build a healthy rental protfolio.For this year my goals for wholesaling is to complete 20 transactions, conduct 5 renovate and resells, and acquire 5 rental properties.Currently SeekingI am currently seeking property to renovate and resell or to purchase for a rental portfolio.

I have no debt other than my duplex mortgage, a stable job, and pretty healthy savings for investment.

Stay safe and healthy!
