The most important thing you do first is to invest in your self meaning learning, network, get involve with local RE investors organization and most important interactions with others on BP and read the newly mint published BRRRR book.

Hey there,First off, I want to thank you for taking the time to read this post.Second, I want to provide some context of what I'm trying to achieve and hopefully that'll help articulate the advice a little better.A little bit about me:- I have never invested in real estate- I've been following the BiggerPockets ecosystem for about 6 months or so now- I've read some of the BiggerPockets Publishing books, but am still reading more and more- I have approximately $30k left over each month that I'd like to start utilizingMy goal is to reach $10k/mo in passive income starting with single-family buy and hold properties. 

Sale Price $125,000Down Payment $50,000Original Balance $75,000Terms 7.0% interest payable in 96 monthly payments of $498.98All due and payable in 8 years.Balloon payment of approximately $67,617.32After holding the note for three months, the seller decided to sell the performing note and use the funds for another investment.

That assumes in most cases its an all cash deal and can close before the published sale date and is enough to pay off the loan in full.

The other 4 units were rented within 1 week of publishing in the local Craigslist. * Just as a side note, the rent price per SQF is identical to residential rental in that area, with nearly 0 repairs and maintenance :)[ Plan of the space before ][ Plan of the space after ][The mess before ][ In the process ][Today]

There's vacation rental manager that publishes actual rate and vacancy data for every market  

BiggerPockets published a book on self-storage investing late last year.

Beyond advising on Immigration issues (pretty significant value added if you're a foreign national), my strongest assets are writing, exhaustively researching a topic (I was published twice in law school), and looking at things from multiple points of view.Thanks in advance, looking forward to working with everybody out there.
