Then see what you are most thrilled about, take that cash and invest it while saving some as an emergency fund/retained earnings for those rainy days. 

We're also pretty unique in that we are publicly traded on NASDAQ  and offer equity opportunities and the ability to earn residual income via our revenue sharing program. 

I earned my BBA and MAc at the University of Iowa in 2015 and 2017.I started researching and learning about real estate investing in January 2020.

If I can find a low rate on a personal loan or credit card and earn 10%+ percent on an investment, then I will take that spread.

If you're a corporation, or an LLC taxed as an S-corp, then your business can retain earnings for tax purposes and you would not be taxed until it is distributed.

Pro: you have a source of $ available to use to invest & earn you more $ (hopefully).

Lacy equity is only affectively earning you whatever your interest rate is on the loan.

You could also look up local STR PMs and ask what agents they recommend (hint, they can also help you with the Operating cost piece and are usually willing to share info since they are trying to earn your business).Good Luck!

And then pick up your own properties here and there the first year so that you can eat from what you earn from others, and you can build wealth with your own properties.  

For now, my goal is to earn an additional $2,000 a month of passive income (after expenses) within 3-5 years from now, in addition to my regular income.
