Second, I like David but he's not as entertaining as Josh was.BP Business Podcast will be right up my alley if they produce the same level of value as the standard podcast does for a new(er) investor.

i am new to the forum but watch bigger pocket you tube since 2 years.I have 5 properties, all single family homes, Houston area, 4 occupied (only 1 has a mortgage,80%), 1 i occupy myself (mortgage80%)I am a real estate agent, single mom, running a small business that produces very good income of what i save about 60%.

So you’re buying an asset that doesn’t produce a lot of tax liability in a vehicle that protects against the taxes it doesn’t produce- and none of the liquidity can be accessed until retirement without a penalty.I’m a bigger fan of note investing inside your retirement plan, and leaving the real estate outside of it.

It only looks at if the property will produce enough rents to cover the PITI mortgage payment.

I am currently renting out 3/2's between $1000 - $1200 mo. in Winter Haven, however I would caution it depends on 2 factors 1. location 2. condition of the property I say that because in many of the areas in Polk county you can find pockets of excellent rental areas next to some questionable neighborhoods. 33884 puts you closer to the LegoLand area, which has recently gone up in value quite a bit, I would say a 4/2 would produce good cash-flow.I cannot say I have ventured into the rent-to-own arena, but I know of some very successful investors in this area who do this type of investing mostly with mobile homes, and they are doing real well.

I will also be experimenting with permaculture/urban meadows and various ways to completely automate the AirBnB system, and passively cultivating fruits/vegetables on autopilot mode so as the mortgage decreases the amount of free food produced increases.

As I seek to expand my RE investment, I would like to have an asset that can produce more potential cash flow.

"I don't want to offend the sellers"If your seller is (or is going to be) your PM, then why are you blaming the seller's REA for not getting you a RR, when your new PM is the one who knows and produces the RR?

We currently live in the other unit but plan to rent the unit out if we ever move.Moving forward, we are looking to buy and hold a few properties which produce a good enough cash flow so that we can become financially independent and spend more time with people who mean a lot to us.

That makes sure the investment is going to produce the returns that you are looking for.
