Congratulations on your first investment property purchase in Houston.

Congratulations!

The point is- if we have the means and the kids are humble and worthy, gifting a bit at their big younger milestones will have a 20x-40x+ the impact vs a pile in their 60s.  

@Sara Smalls hi I’m thinking about joining as well and congratulations on your success I’m wondering how it’s going now and did you get them deals on contract plus how much was your marketing start up cost was

@Vanessa Switzler Congratulations on your move to a new market.  

Congratulations on the incredible success and early financial freedom.

We'll have a pile of cash in the bank that will yield $30-40k annually of simple interest in high yield savings accounts at current rates.

Congratulations your your success!

Congratulations on getting your offer accepted for your first rental property!

If you do this you'll have a huge pile of money that will allow you to pursue whatever strategy you want very quickly.If I had to do it all over again, I would buy a personal residence as soon as I could, probably house hack, then buy a new personal residence as soon as I had the money for another down payment then turning the old house into a long term rental.If you're just starting I'd also recommend listening to the Bigger Pockets and Real Estate Rookie Podcasts.
