Although no two people have the same experience while starting out, here’s a structured approach to help you get started:1.

For Colorado, where I live and work as an RE agent, I joined the local chamber and started a networking group.

I've built two cabins in the smokies and they both took about 18 months from start to finish.

Quote from @Hughston Thackham: People see their equity and start to salivate.

I might suggest that once you get your next orders THEN we would start considering purchasing a 2-4 unit property (as an idea at least).Hope all of that makes sense.

In the beginning its common place to take debt under their name to start off. 

House hacking either a SFH or a duplex is a great way to cover your mortgage and start saving up money for your next down payment.

Have you scheduled a cleaner to come in and do a deep clean before you start renting.

We're excited to get started and begin our journey to financial freedom.

The whole process will take 2 hours start to finish and I am not even interested in billing them for the time, time is more valuable to me than money, and I just dont want us to have to take the time.
