@Marisa Gordon HarnessI use no interest for a year credit cards and those convenience checks they send out.

@Kevin Roth well i’am trying to start my investing journey but I don’t want to make big mistakes that will cause me to be discourage, i’am working on building on my business but I also want to build my business and real estate portfolio at the same time, I want to get into the house hacking thing but people telling me not to do it, they said I can just get a conventional loan with a lower down payment, but I heard you need 20% lol i’am looking for a 4 plex in my area 4plexs are 400,000-450,000 lmfao so you see why i’am leaning towards the house hack

You'll be living in a bit of a shell for a few months, but then you can really lean into your own sweat equity and not rely on a contractor.If you do hire a contractor, there are ways to protect yourself from being taken advantage of.

Bad school district in convenient location for commute and errands for example?

I’m leaning towards the new one bc in theory I can cap-ex the cost on my taxes vs just a repair if I go that route.

I’m leaning toward selling, but also debating on refinancing.

@Ali Boone Great options and points of clarity you mention.Naga, I'm leaning toward BRRRR over turnkey because of the greater profit potential, and because I finished the book on BRRRR (and want to apply it, and know someone who is doing it who can help guide me.Leaning toward local because this is my first real deep dive into REI apart from my primary residence, and I want it to be close by so I can learn hands on.

Although we want a place convenient for us, we don't want to ignore the financial calculus, as this is meant to be a profitable springboard to more real estate investments..Hilton Head Island and Myrtle Beach are interesting as beach destinations which don't typically receive hurricane activity, but do get considerable tourist traffic.

Since my first property is turnkey I am looking to rent it out soon since Amazon will be building their new HQ here and it is literally across the street from the Pentagon so it would be ideal for military and government workers to rent as well.I am also thinking about investing in my next property and beginning to research the next place to invest, I am leaning towards the Midwest market.

In exchange for that "convenience," the client expects to pay a much higher rate --- even for recent law school graduates.
