Also you need to need to know your strategy: BRRRR or turnkey rentals? 

also you should know that san diego is #1 most appreciated city in US for 2023, so all strategy that work in san diego is appreciation , in appreciation town SF is the name of the game , dont focus outside of your market, invest locally, the hidden gem is at your own backyard.

Also, happy to connect and talk strategy and the 2024 Chicago real estate market!

I’ve seen a few people I’ve interacted with start out with this strategy, however in the forums I’ve been mostly hearing all things wrong versus here is how you can do it and be successful.

I love the primary home strategy. 

We are a seasonal market and I make most of my money on my STR in the spring/summer/fall but it's not totally dead in the winter so if you weren't getting any bookings or occupancy fell below 50% you need to work to optimize your off season booking strategy.5) It sucks but if you can't meet the minimum payments and/or your credit doesn't start to recover then you may want to seriously consider selling the property to get everything paid off. 

Give me your thoughts on this as a general strategy.

I’m trying to figure out what strategy to take to achieve my goals.

Au Contraire, I am trying to tell you that you can do this without paying ANYONE, me included.All the posts I have been making over the years have not changed voice or strategy.

more so looking for cashflow than appreciation but it would be nice to have both. my strategy is to buy somewhat turnkey homes then renting out to section 8. thanks in advance!
