Check back soon for more adventures in investing.I love your story and can totally relate to it!!!  

You have such a strong WHY for investing in real estate, "creating generational wealth for my family" -- love it! 

Would love to Connect. https://www.morrowwargo.com/Our next meetup (in person & virtual) is 4/22 and it will be on Scaling / Multifamily investing.

From there, I'd like to expand in the STR market but as I learn, I'm open to other options.I love the Boston area but it's so expensive here and I don't know how to make that profitable.

I'd love to connect with anyone in the area as an investor myself, currently with 2 STRs that I self-manage. 

If I jump back into that arena, I'd love to get your advice!

BTW, I'm neither a real estate agent, nor lender, just an O'ld Fart who loves discussing real estate.  

I love the Gatlinburg area and have my sights set on that area to invest in a property.

Plus, buy in a rapidly appreciating part of town, and you'll really reap your gains when you sell or refinance down the road.Here's an active property that I love right now:https://www.redfin.com/CA/Los-Angeles/1167-Geraghty-Ave-9006...Very affordable (for LA standards) and in the improving neighborhood of City Terrace.

I've invested in tons of assets over time, I've missed some by being cute, I've regretted some, I ended up loving some more than I thought.
