Many people earned well in real estate investing from buying a property at a low price and selling or renting them out at marked-up rates.

My question is rooted in picking the right brokerage where I should hang my license to support the commercial real estate lease negotiations that I manage in my professional career, as well as the residential projects I manage on the personal wealth building side of my life. 

My career for 13 years has been in debt capital markets, specifically Structured Products (distressed mortgage backed securities, CLOs, CDOs).

You also get some write offs through depreciation and expenses that can help offset your earned income which as a higher earner could have a really big impact for your tax bill form uncle Sam!

I am planning to live in it for about another year afterwards and then use it as a rental after moving to a larger city for more career opportunities.

Hi All, I currently work in health insurance and the career is a nightmare.

Hi, I'm brand new to the forums and getting everything in order to begin my REI career.

Naturally, I do not want to start my real estate career with long distance investments as there is a higher potential for conflict, especially as a newbie.

I would buy the primary traditionally, and feel comfortable covering that expense with your income, and then using the excess cash that you got as a gift, to start your investment career.

Hey @Michael Diaz, congrats on taking the next step in your investing career.
