Real estate investing has very low returns unless you leverage.The reality is that if you want to be a successful investor you must position yourself appropriately.

I would like to discuss the successes and failures of local investors.

Christi Millo We use the rental arbitrage model all over the country with great success for our investors as well as property owners.

With a good agent on your side, you're well on your way.I stress the importance of teeing yourself up for success prior to swinging, because if done right, house hacking can be one of the best ways to launch yourself towards financial freedom.
