And do you have enough working capital to invest in real estate each month? 

I see it as an $8k investment that the government made in me and they have done really well with it because I have paid that $8k back many times over in taxes that I've paid since then. 

I'm looking forward to discussing investment strategies (traditional and fringe) with many of my house-hacking friends and peers over the next few years--especially in the Green Bay region!

The biggest challenges in fix-and-flip investing often involve securing reliable financing with favorable terms.

When you get back, go to local real estate meetups to get comfortable with what other investors are doing and meet some veterans who invest, there are a lot of them!

Future tenants would likely appreciate the extra storage, and it could make your duplex more attractive in the long run without the hefty upfront investment that a full conversion would require.Another idea is to repurpose the shed into a functional office space or a private workout area.

If you are looking for an investment it is very helpful to know from the numbers perspective of what you are looking for, strategy, what type of areas you are looking in, condition of the property/how much work you are comfortable with, etc.

I’d love to hear about your experience—what worked well, any challenges you faced, and how it impacted your investment strategy.

With property prices rising across the country, it’s becoming challenging to find investment properties that offer solid cash flow.

I am interested in how others would invest 100K today if they had it?
