But I would like to kick start my real estate journey before starting a family or moving in with my girlfriend.

@Marcus Robert Can you share with us why you are looking to move away from QuickBooks? 

Hello Everyone,My name is Fernanda and I live in Upstate NY (CNY) and I always had a desire on dive in into Real Estate Investing (I work in a Real Estate Office and I love it - never had a interest on becoming a Realtor because where I live there are too many Realtor for a small/short market, if you don't know people and not familiar with the area you will suffer to make any moves). 

I have heard of a few different ways to do this including the waterfall method where the investor receives 75% until their investment is returned and then move into 50/50. 

First time homeowner here (since 2020)…I really want to move out of my current home because it is too large for me and my two dogs and I hate cleaning so much space (refuse to pay someone to do it haha)it’s a 3BR/2.5BA, two stories, 2565 sq ft on a 7000 lot with a huge pool in the backyard.

I agreed to that move-in date in favor of a tenant with a great credit score, history over immediate/faster tenancy. 

I remember looking it up when i first moved to dayton.

Can refer if desired.Like Ko said the first one is the most difficult & then it gets easier to move on.Best,Mike

And like others said, most people don't want or need the hassle - they'll just move on to the next property.

My wife and I will be moving to the Tampa area this upcoming summer.
