I purchased a duplex last year and lived in one unit.

I live in California (North Bay region) and I own a SFH here and I am planning to invest out of state.

@Zachary Jarvisdefinitely don't start out with private lending.just do either a house hack or a live in flip.look into 203K loans.https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/live-in-flip

We've originally been living paycheck to paycheck.

Real estate investment trusts closed out 2023 with a surge of investments in healthcare properties as they look to capitalize on an aging population that is becoming increasingly dependent on medical care.Healthcare real estate, a relatively niche market within the larger real estate industry that includes hospitals, assisted living facilities and rehabilitation centers, can often blend elements from familiar real estate sectors like office, multifamily and retail, offering a unique investment subtype.

Hey @Logan Allec I know a woman who bought tons of SFRs in California City and lives off of them.

Hey guys,What’s your thoughts on the market in the UAE? Are any of the Emirates better places to invest? And are there any meet up groups you would recommend joining for real estate investing ?Karim

I am an experienced fix and flip investor previously from the South Houston rural area that now lives in Burnet County, TX. 

Smart buyers understand the value of a Buyer's agent and it certainly is not just to open doors.  95% of my clients are out of state investors purchasing in a market that they do not know nor live in, they count on me to walk the property, access repairs, provide comps and short term rental numbers, arrange and be present for inspections, as well as my ability to assist them getting their short term rental set up for them long distance.
