I aim to apply my real estate knowledge to build a portfolio of rental properties, starting with single and multifamily homes and eventually expanding to apartments.Should I pursue a degree in financial planning or accounting to complement my minor?

and the goal of a house hack is not to 'cash flow' - it's to replace your rent payment with a mortgage payment and build equity.with that said - lots of investors buy off market and not on.

I am a repeat founder and data nerd eager to build a new venture in the investing/data space.I was hoping some (or many) of you would be comfortable sharing pains in investing that you wish went away.You know, things that are so frustrating that you'd pay to have them stop.

Hey there @Ramy Mosbah - For us as a general contractor here in Chicago the most obvious use case is marketing and social media.We like to use AI as a starting point because it can general content so quickly then we refine it to make it better and better.We also use it to help us build email sequences and stories.

Reminds me of a saying my friend always says when a deal fall through, "It's just a house, they build em everyday."

I would focus on consistent, steady income and building an amazing credit history.
