So main lesson is get a rock star agent or if you find yourself in my shoes ask your agent-friend to get a Rockstar agent to partner with them to split the commission on your purchase.

We met a couple (now friends) in Queens about a year ago that was in your shoes and now they just got prequalified for their first investment property.

Remember that we are realizing a pretty long 15 day "shelter-in-place" request.The shoe is going to drop, but since we have not been here before, we don't know much about the mess it will eventually bring.

Your area is hot for buyers and sellers as is the whole valley.Take those comish checks and save half of them for Real Estate." a little less clothes and shoes and a little for for your future".IF ONLY MY WIFE COULD DO THIS!!!

Frankly, if I were in your shoes I’d be targeting a single 4 plex in the Arcadia/Old Town area or 2 4 plexs in the Downtown Phoenix area.

For that reason I chose Florida to do my last investment but I still keep an eye out for deals locally as well, but the barrier to entry is much higher as $100K-$150K couldn't buy us a shoe box up here. 

@Brandon Roberts if I were in your shoes I’d buy your next house contingent on the sale of your current house.

If you could see my shoes from 2016, you would know that you could fill them financially speaking.

That said, do you get the same feel for the market right now that there is a pullback while most wait for the other shoe to drop?
