I know that I have much to learn and I am always eager to hear different perspectives, and constructive criticism from other more experienced and successful investors than myself.

If your goal is to have a dependable passive income that you will not outlive, then the location is the most important investment decision, not the property.Wherever you decide to invest, it is critical that you work with a good local investment team.

Any response, info, advice, or criticism is welcomed and appreciated!

I grew $10K or $20K per project before topping $100K, so just find a property that does not need much work at the start - and grow your experience and your team along the way.For a BRRRR deal to be successful, it is critical that you know the rehab cost and what the completed property will rent for.
