And, while I am happy to help out, no amount of my advice is going to do you any good if you don't get your crap figured out first.By crap I mean your finances, your goals, your team and your strategy for real estate investing.

I believe it's different for every investor, as their goals and strategies are going to be just as diverse.

I know some of these clients have large investment goals but are just starting out like yourself.

Define your goals and put plans in place to achieve them.    

What are your goals?

So again it's up to the individual investors specific set of circumstances, goals, and their tolerance level for debt. 

What is the goal you are trying to achieve?

I felt very conflicted selling a house, my goal is to add doors.

So my goal when I was younger was always to have some incoming cash flow giving me the option to retire early.

My goal one day is to have my own team and firm but in order to learn all that and do that,  working under someone or with someone is my motivation to learn and get to that point.
