Hi Everyone,Many years ago I had the goal of purchasing multiple investment properties and finally met it back in 2021 I am now super excited about and want to work and invest in the development of new apartment complexes or neighborhoods.Any thoughts on who to follow on X or YouTube and which development companies to reach out to that are in Austin/Houston?

This could include rental properties, REITs, or your primary residence.Fixed Income: 15-25%This includes bonds, CDs, and other low-risk investments.

This is counter-intuitive to my goal - slow and steady save to purchase our first investment property (with more to follow). 

You’ll save on labor and can invest those savings back into the property.Value Addition: With your expertise, you’ll likely be able to add more value to the property through your renovations than a contractor might.

This assumes you're looking at this as an investment property.

Would appreciate any input on where to invest - Henderson, NV or Phoenix/Tuscon, AZ?

You could also explore using a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or a cash-out refinance to tap into the $100k equity and use that capital to invest in additional properties, all while keeping the current home as an asset.

I have spent the past several years studying market trends, analyzing potential investment properties, and building a network of industry experts.I'm specifically looking for a fellow investor located in the New York area who is interested in collaborating on initial buy and flip projects.

Housing prices in Beloit are definitely cheaper than Janesville, and Janesville is (for obvious reasons) significantly cheaper to invest in than Madison.Can't be of help to the property management part though... we've looked and looked but haven't found a company we are comfortable with... your best bet there would be to join up with the Southern Wisconsin Landlords Association and network for a quick recommendation.
