Was more until Fed raised rates and houses here dropped significantly in price, eroding some of my equity.I've been investing in VGT and JEPQ for the last year or so and for the first time in my life, have NOT lost money in the stock market like I did when I was merger investing, options trading, etc. 

Am in option period for a quadruplex that does not have W/D connections.

I have access to VA Home Loan so my options mainly involve home hacking with multi family properties.

Some people like to bet big and potentially lose big, we prefer to place medium size bets and consistently win more modest rewards.By primarily investing in properties with an all-in cost under $100,000, we often have multiple viable exit strategies in case the original one does not work out (we don’t pretend to have a guaranteed crystal ball, but we do like to have options at the end, and we find that our students do as well!)

I am considering options such as launching my own business to working a 9-5 to working in the real estate industry and many more.

Hello Justin, Hard money may be a good option.

Another option is "The Millionaire Real Estate Investor" by Gary Keller.

I sign up for this all in 2019 for this is the first time I’ve logged in.I bought a place in 2018, remodeled and sold in 2022 and chased my dream of 20 years of moving to Jackson Wy however investing here in not an option since I’m not a billionaire sooooo I am planning my next moves and looking to invest.I have roughly $30K (potentially $50K) to invest in a flex and flip as I’m not sure I could do the landlord thing.I have been looking in places I would like to actually live which is eastern Oregon, North central/East Tennessee, Rapid City or Naples-Clearwater Florida areas.I have even considered building (having a builder build it) new or spec home so if anyone knows of any reputable builders?

Just reviewing all options....
