It wasn't the easiest first few years because my partner and I had to come up with cash almost annually to cover unexpected expenses, which there always will be.  

The IRS has the ability to consider the extra value over $1 to be a gift and thus can bring your inheritance taxes into play. 

In my opinion once you have a property or two you can start working with a coach and finding out how your unique gifts (everyone has them) can help you grow an investment portfolio for you and your family.The number 1 mistake new people make is waiting too long to make their first purchase.

FHA will have to allow downpayment if the amount is borrowed anyway, and your friends cant gift the money, it has to be family members.

Yep, I found it while on Amazon looking for new reading material / Christmas gifts for my friends who are like-minded in regards to their financial independence.

"You need at least one Zegna or Canali hehe"Maybe one will be under the tree from my family next to my annual gifts of socks and underwear from Target.

@Stephen Ray By far the easiest entrance to investing is house hacking a multi-unit. 3.5% -5% down payment minimum, lower primary residence rate, and let your tenants pay your mortgage, while you continue to save what you would otherwise be spending on rent/mortgage until you have enough for your next investment.

Since you are remote, the easiest way to handle this is to get the property manager to file the paperwork. 

I’m ok with market rate turnkeys, everything is already done so these are the easiest purchases I’ve ever done.

What would be the easiest way to get involved with RE investment?
