Depending how much you earn you can step up those savings by getting a side-hustle.

@Sam ChicquenSam, little late to this but I’m an investor/agent based out of Tampa Florida.I like Tampa and the surrounding markets for its cash flow and appreciation potential.There are still a ton of mom and pop investors that own commercial multi (5+) and I’ve had some good luck connecting with these owners and purchasing from them.The last deal I did was a commercial off-market value-add multifamily and was able to secure seller financing.Downside is flood insurance has gone crazy down here and can really kill some deals.Happy to help you with your search.

You can decide how much cash you want to pull out so you are still cash flowing. 

Purchase price: $300,000 Cash invested: $10,500 My first investment.

The deal itself was only mediocre cash flowing about $400/month.

@Ali S.What's the monthly cash flow for each of these properties? 

But that makes me wonder if no tax on earnings (for 10-yr investment) is applicable only at federal level.Anyways, thanks for clarifying the state return requirements.

Purchase price: $690,000 Cash invested: $300,000 6/6 two family detach house in HOA at 77 monthly.

If you can positive cash with today's interest rates, and you buy in a growth market, then you'll have a winner.

Very quick and simple read that boils down the importance of investing in cash flowing assets such as real estate.
