Unless you don't own a home now and then your strategy should be a house hack.  

I went from planning elaborate 10 year strategies in my head, to actually talking about real estate with real people in real life (crazy for us millennials I know I know). 

@Chris MartinI like your strategy but for an investor with $50k liquid, investing in an 8 unit is difficult unless partnering with one or more investors. 

I'm passionate about RE and always looking to meet like minded people and learn different strategies!

From the podcasts, it sounds like the BRRR strategy works well but I'm not looking to get that active.

My goal is to get 8-10% net cap rate for a long term (20-30 years), I'm still considering few strategies, To invest in a big and stable city like Jacksonville to buy a old house (1960-1980) in not so good neighborhood and give it to a property management company to take car of the properties or to go to a medium city like Gainesville but will still need a local property management or it will be better for me to invest in a new construction in a small city like Ocala (I know there is a lot of development in the area) and I can also manage it myself.

I try to secure motivated sellers who own properties free and clear, and my exit strategy is Assignment of Contract.

We are actively looking and I will be glad to discuss our investing strategy.

My niche is small multi-family properties by now, and my strategy is to buy and hold.

I'm not sure yet, but there are a million strategies out there and this is mine for now.
