It will force you to learn quickly the fundamentals of REI.

After all it's no secret that appreciation OR forced appreciation (flipping or BRRRR or some other valu add) are the ways to generate true wealth.

So here's the situation, we have a family member that may be forced to sell her primary home.  

Forced appreciation and so forth.

I currently lack the credentials to secure financing for the deal but I'm under contract to sale one of the properties I'm holding and will have at least $200k available to put into the purchase.If anyone is interested in chatting further, sharing goals and vision, and exploring the possibility of a partnership don't hesitate to reach out.Also, I would love to hear all your comments on this idea of doing a JV with another investor in order to join forces and go bigger right off the bat. 

Way better than collage debt cuz you will have learned something epic at 18 and will be able to plow full force into the next one at 19!  

All bases may not have this course as I'm using an Air Force base as my example.  

Add to that forced appreciation through sweat equity (I'm becoming a local expert on that ;)) and you will find yourself with the knowledge and experience to either continue to invest locally or invest out of state. 

I used to ask tenants to commit for a year at a time, but I found I actually have less turnover when I don't force tenants to reevaluate their living situations each year.  

In addition to being a realtor, I'm also an investor/private money lender , so I'm open  and able to assist with funding or joining forces in  joint venture projects  that make sense.
