Keep doing what you are doing and in 10-15 years (your retirement timeline) you'll have a ton of equity built up to turn into whatever cash flowing investment you want at that time (real estate or otherwise). 

I'm a real estate broker and general contractor looking to connect with other real estate professionals on this forum.

Let's hope my foray into real estate investing goes better!

I am looking to get started in real estate investing in Northern New Jersey. 

After the fix I want to put it on the market so I can pursue other real estate opportunities.

We are excited to get started but want to make sure we set ourselves up well by talking to folks in the field to set up our business model well, find great real estate agents and investors that work in our area, and see who else is out there doing it in this area.

I appreciate your service and dedication.Given your connection to Memphis, it sounds like a great choice for your real estate investments.

@Quinlan MoranWhy are you investing in real estate?

The attorney that does most of my real estate work likes to see the LLC formed in either the state where the property is or where the LLC owner lives.  

Are you facing challenges with your current financing strategy?
