If you want to flip those odds it's going to take a lot more than throwing 200k into some of your own real estate deals.

Hello everyone,I’m a real estate investor in the Jacksonville, Florida market.

Plus, having a fully paid-off property could be a nice safety net if the STR market takes a hit or occupancy slows down.On the flip side, if you’re eager to grow, saving for another property could be the better play.

You want to use flips to partially fund this venture - flips that will drive up housing prices => rents.

I’ve done 1 rental property and sold it to gain capital and did 1 flip that didn’t go so well so not 100% experienced to say the least.

It is important to remember that a solid agent is not just opening doors for you, their biggest value would be in the negotiations and right now, buyers have a real advantage if one knows how to go about it.

I started my Real Estate Investment Journey in 2016, have flipped four homes since then, and own one rental. 

@Michelle Wang Ever hear: "If you think YOU CAN or You think YOU CAN'T, YOU'RE RIGHT"IMHO I've found this to be true in Real Estate Investing.

Never flipped, but I know there are people doing it. 

With the sell of this home I will have approximately $140k in proceeds that i planned on using to invest with and start flipping houses.
