I did my first deal at 25 years old (a house hack) and getting started early benefited me in many ways.It'll be tough finding multifamily deals where the numbers make sense right now.

Building codes change and labor and materials go up.

Thanks Definitely is tough now to find a good deal on MLS.

I recognize it is a tough RE market with many challenges.  

It also puts your agent and lender in a tough spot where it could be a perceived "fraud for profit" and they could lose their license and face time/penalties if they knowingly cooperate.

Cash out refi will be tough due to the price, not sure if there is a local bank you can reach out for the financing.

It is tremendously encouraging to hear inspiring success stories here on BP- to help get through the tough times of doubt and despair.Thanks Glenn and all the best to you!

Again I could be wrong, and I don't want to be a Debbie Downer, but this seems like a tough road.

Don't feel bad, this happens a lot.Facing 80% vacancy and tenant issues can be tough, especially on a first deal.

Tough to refinance with late payments especially into 30 year mortgages.
