Study a few of your favorite markets and dive in on one to start.

Loans are not a taxable eventThis is my favorite mechanic in the American tax codeIf you create equity in an asset (real estate or stocks) and then sell it you pay taxes, if you take a loan out you get the proceeds but pay no taxes (and in the case of real estate get tax benefits) and if your asset continues to appreciate you can take loan proceeds out over and over again. 

This is not just an opinion, you (and should) search your favorite search engine to verify which areas will be more favorable to your goals... 

The house hack and nomad strategy got my investing train moving and they are my favorite strategies to date.Good luck! 

a) You raise the rents, save the money and return it to the tenant at Christmas. b) You raise the rents, and donate it to your favorite charity that fights communismc) You raise the rent and use it to put your children in a better school than the current public schools.

So for example, if I’m partnering with my favorite carpenter, I would expect all windows can be changed for $200-250/each versus $450 all in.

Ranchplexes are my favorite type of unit.You definitely want that mold taken care of.
