@Keaton VolsTo expand your real estate portfolio and achieve financial growth, consider refinancing your property, saving for a down payment, implementing house hacking, partnering, exploring markets, building a network, educating yourself, diversifying into alternative investments, maximizing tax benefits, and maintaining an emergency fund.

I recently closed on a contract on a half duplex in a solid appreciating market.

I live in California so this housing market is not very beginner friendly.

Any case, it's such a saturated market that rentals are going for $125-150/night if I'm lucky.

I'm very interested in creative financing options with sellers as well.Right now I'm using propstream to help assist in data collecting to focus on off-market deals. 

While I have the funds for the down payments, I’m in need of approximately $30,000 to cover the rehab costs for these properties to get them in market rent shape.I’m exploring various options to secure the necessary financing and would greatly appreciate any advice or recommendations on the best ways to obtain rehab funds.

I am interested in Belize due to research I have done and the current market expanding.

You will meet wholesalers, agents, investors, lenders, contractors, and other professionals in the real estate industry. 

On every list of the fastest declining price point markets, about 60-75% are in Texas.

The affordable housing market and diverse neighborhoods make it easy to enter.
