I plan to use real estate commissions as well as growing equity in my primary residence to jump into Buy and Hold (Specifically BRRRR) at a later date and work towards building cash flow from rentals. 

I'm a Pro...Time to grow!!!!

Great work and best of luck growing the machine!

Just don't blow the money on something (cars, vacations) with no ROI.Congrats on your success so far at such a young age @James Hyatt!

Also if this group is looking for a more detailed response  in addition to my adverse action notice as to why we are choosing another group, are the reasons listed above okay to use since they don't fall under any discrimination laws ( age, sex, religion) Thanks for your time and help with this

 all awesome info...I relate to this as I am often out of country..I have bought through trusted eyes for a buy/hold, never a flip.....could you chime in on either..1.regarding an online auction purchase, and seemingly growing trend... they seem to all say "as is", no contingencies, no views, no diligence...how in goodness name can you confidently make an offer on an online auction w/ no walk through contingency?

If all four conditions are well met, e.g. its close to Center City with good transportation (public or otherwise), pricing is steady or rising, permits are constant/persistent (indicating still room to grow), and rents are solid, if improving, and the inventory moves quickly -- you have a good neighborhood with long term growth.Would love to hear other investors thoughts on this -- these are just my very inexperienced thoughts.

Unfortunately in this day and age it is extremely rare.

In MA, you cannot rent to a family with children under the age of 6 if you don't have a lead certificate on file, which means it's been tested by a lead inspector and made safe by a licensed deleader.

I am a newly commissioned 2d Lt and my goal is to grow enough financial freedom, for myself and my partner, after my military career, or as a financial backup for my family in the case something were to happen while serving.
