Hey @Francisco Javier Villanueva,Glad to see you looking for events to get out and meet the people who are active in your area! 

Go to your library, explore, start consuming the knowledge.

But Im also actively buying rentals myself, because I think its the easiest path to wealth.

Hey Matt,With $50K in a self-directed IRA, there are several strategies you could explore to generate both short- and long-term returns, depending on your risk tolerance and investment goals.

Passive Activity Losses: Are there ways to offset my W-2 income with rental losses, or do I need to qualify as a real estate professional for that to work?

I don't think the HOA can restrict what a tenant does within their own unit (the lease can), they can prevent activities in common areas.

🤔Let's explore this idea together...💰 The Cash Flow ConnectionThink about it - both investments are essentially money-making machines.

West Valley cities like Buckeye and Avondale, East Valley spots like Apache Junction and Mesa, or growing areas like Casa Grande and Maricopa are worth exploring.

I have one rental property that I have been self managing for about 10 years but I'm looking to exploring and potentially doing my first Flip this year. 

Or we've also been exploring moving to a district with a better high school for the kids in a few years and turning the current place into a rental.
