However I read books about real estate and thought that when I come to the USA, I'll start building my real estate portfolio, so here I am.I read several real estate books in the past, but now started to explore more while I'm in the USA.

I started my journey in a small town in Nebraska, flipping houses and learning the ropes through hands-on experience.

Initially, I started with a project called Dealsletter, which has grown quite well and has received positive feedback from the real estate investing community.

Should I focus on paying that off first before I invest or does it make sense to start my real estate journey and use the cash flow to help pay it off faster?

Hi All, I’m just starting out and, following the advice of a mentor, I’m trying to find an attorney who deals with real estate transactions and issues.

It may not cashflow from Day 1, but will in 1-3 years and you'll have nice appreciation.That's how my manager started out and what he still tries to do.DM us if you'd like to chat more.

Obviously we're seeking to do an inspection and have the property appraised, but I think we are in a good starting position.

I would start off by getting several quotes.I can tell you that my regular AC guy charges 40% more than the guy I go with.  

It's free and very easy to use, especially when you are first starting out.

Look at the capital gains (ie profit after expenses of buying and selling) and as your income will go down after you retire, how many can you sell at a time without jumping up a tax bracket?
