My husband is a newly licensed agent (within the last year), and we are preparing to start our investing career as well.

In the early days of my real estate career, I would buy nothing down properties strictly betting on appreciation.  

It was large enough and suitable to convert it to a small rental unit.

Also, OKC is quickly growing as a hot spot for new careers as it's fairly affordable to live here.

Hi all,So I'm on the brink of starting my real estate investing career after studying both residential and commercial for the last year or so and I'm wondering if it would  be a realistic goal to have 300 units cashflowing at least $180 per door (living off of $54000 a month). 

I put this together to hopefully provide value in your efforts to build a career in the development business.

Cynthia, as you get more experience, and progress in your Real Estate Career, you will recognize the need to have sources for HandyPerson (Non-Sexist), Electricians, Plumbers, HVAC, etc to refer to your Buyer & Seller Clients.

It sounds like a mid career change to full time real estate.

Talk to a career counselor and interview some of the amazing investors who inspire you.

Second, I turned “deal maker” a number of years into my appraising career and am now a full-time student apartment syndicator/investor.
