I occasionally would get extremely motivated about investing in real estate, but would often be shot down by others or my own limiting thoughts.

Thanks so much @Stephanie P. and @Corby Goade this is very helpful and thanks for motivating me to keep going regardless!

I am reaching out to any and all who are in the industry and interested in an extremely ambitious student, hard worker, and I am willing to begin at any level in order to achieve my goals.

Hello BP members,My name is Julia Sung and I recently passed real estate license exam in NYS and completed the course.I was wondering if there's any real estate brokers (residential or commercial) out there who might be looking for a part-time agent to work for in NYC area.I am very eager and motivated to immerse myself in this business.My hours are flexible and cooperative.

Instead of sending direct mail to find a motivated seller for a house hack deal, has anyone tried calling places listed as For Rent and asking if they would be interested in selling instead?

The initial cash flow correlates terribly to achieved cash flow over long holds.  

This will provide you with more stable income and accelerated learning vs. trying to build your own business while competing against people twice your age with far more experience, hustle, and the motivation of feeding/housing a family.I know one person that started real estate at 18, made a successful business, and is still in it 30 years later.

If no to both, your losses from this rental wouldn’t help decrease your taxes anyway.If tax mitigation is your goal, your real estate investments has to be planned in such a way that these goals are achieved, to the extent possible. 

But we can’t achieve density because nearly 80 percent of Los Angeles’ buildable area, nearly half a million parcels, is zoned for only single-family houses.

Hi Nate, that is a fairly conservative price to rent ratio you are looking to achieve.
