I am still rather young (26), but have found real estate investing much more exciting/lucrative than other investments.Since beginning my journey I have acquired 5 rental properties that are all cash flow positive.

I found out that as an investor with Fundrise, the investor is not the 1st lein holder against the properties invested in, so if they go sideways then the investor may not get their money back.

Found an almost turnkey 4 plex on market that would cash flow when we got the rents up.

Found this deal through word of mouth and a lot of persistence.

@Travis Henderson @Rita Casco I'm an OOS investor who has found success with TK investing in Indy!.

I've been looking for houses for about 8 months. 1999 Market was on fire I put down several offers on homes people would come in with cash offers and get the property or there was a huge line of offer prior to mine.My aunt actually found the house that was for sale by owner.It wasn't in the best condition but I knew I could do the work and fix it up and turn a profit on it and it sure bet renting.

We seem to have found a niche here and deal flow is actually picking up because of that.

I never thought about saving first before investing  :/  Ironically enough I found "Building Wealth One House At A Time" on Amazon shortly after and had no idea it was also associated with Bigger Pockets.

The unit was vacant for close to half a year when I found it on the MLS. 

We found some middle ground.
