In the long run, you can definitely make money when your investments rise 10% in a year but I prefer to do the cash flow play as my preferred source of investment. 

I'd just work on building my credit, getting a good W2 job, and reading House Hacking by Craig Curelop.However, if it were me, and I was 18 with the goal of becoming a real estate millionaire and financially free by the age of 25.... then I'd get 2 jobs (preferably jobs that interact with the public and increase people skills), reduce all of my spending, save as much as I could, read all of these books twice, listen to all the BiggerPockets podcasts, watch all of the free webinars, read blog posts, watch youtube videos, go to local meet ups , network and immerse myself into the world of real estate.

Preferably 4plex and house hack again but 1031 into outside NJ, maybe PA.

My preferred method is using Property Management to manage the rehab. 

I am looking to see what is the most preferred bank to use for managing rental payments.

We would prefer not to pay for a whole new system if possible.I assume that we can't get a refund for the ****** work they already performed or ask they to pay for the unit they ruined.Thank you,[url=[/img][/url][url=[/img][/url][url=[/img][/url][url=[/img][/url]

When those things went away in the 70s and 80s, voters at the time and up until very recently preferred to borrow instead of live within their means.

If it is a SFR, I would prefer if it would be able to cash flow if I were to rent it out because if I move from the residence, I could then get money every month.

@Drew Potts I personally prefer 30 year mortgages over 15.

People who want houses prefer privacy, so you have a smaller pool of potential buyers.
