I agree with Marcus...I have found that house hacking is the #1 ways that people have started in real estate in Milwaukee and if you are able to use VA, even better.

I’ll be job hunting soon and hope to start working by September.I’m looking to buy my first rental property around March 2025 in the Northwest or Northeast San Antonio area, and I’m even considering as far up as San Marcos.

Those who stood by me ran away, leaving me to start from scratch in a new world.''

Due to horrible, and I mean horrible property managers in the area (the one known as being the best admitted to me she recently had an employee steal over a million from landlords and she didn't think it was her fault), I decided to hire a family member full time to start managing properties for me. 

I would also stay away from people just starting out, its hard being a 1/2 person operation with a low unit count.Best of luck!

Hey @Rebeca Enriquez,Congrats on starting you investing journey!

Then I started listening to BP podcasts and other real estate investing podcasts and became interested in investing the money we have to work for us.

A 1 bed room studio in a good area that is NOO STR eligible starts off at $600k. https://dlgoodmanproperties.id...In Davidson County a Short term rental is any rental agreement less than 30 days.

These forums are a great place to learn and meet people, whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned investor.

Just started exploring what is available, prices, and rents.
