My family is from the Philippines so I wanted to drop in and say hi!

My goal is to start learning and hope to buy my second (we own our current home) property within the year to start my real estate investment journeyI got interested in Real Estate investing because I want to be able to have a large family and give them everything they need (college tuition, family trips, emergency fund) and want to grow a portfolio with constant cash flow to allow for these things. 

I'm looking at Section 8 or Multi family investing.

Thanks,Chris @Chris Heinmiller We've been working with our local Habitat to create a program where we could partner to help them expand beyond SFH into multi-family and townhome options.

I would only rent to friends and family I trust 100% and even then I am probably giving them a break or cutting them some slack because they have a temporary situation.I would really only do it as a favor.

The sales agent said he's built and sold other homes through her, so at first, it seemed like he is more like a GC who does this on the reg, but now it sounds like he and his family used the property last summer for family gatherings, etc. and actually lived there for awhile. 

Single-family?

Hi David, Are you targeting single family homes or multi-family properties?

Here's how to do it:1. open redfin.com2. search to buy, enter your query: Single Family 2/1 in zip code 95123 for example3.
