I'm on on the second chapter but had to post and see what other people thought about it and how it changed (or didn't) their business.

For the past 4+ years I've been preparing/trying to figure out how to get started investing in real estate.

I thought he did a good job talking about Wim Hof and some of the theories behind it.

I thought about that, similar to a HELOC or something different?  

Your thought process sounds to me like as if you found a rare widget, say a baseball card, at a thrift store for a $1 --- nobody there knew what they had. 

Before i left, i left the last of my savings with my tenant, a long term friend (15 years) that rented from me for 5 years. my thought was with the 5 grand , he would have a nicer place to live and i would be able to maximize my appraisal and house hack a mutiunit. 

I considered just doing an LTR, but according to all of the rent estimates that would put me at a negative cash flow so I thought STR might be the way to go.Also, I would like to start an LLC for the unit. 

Been doing a ton of work recently to prepare and been getting more into it the more I do!

If vacasa can put the same $ in my pocket (or close), and I can find more deals with the extra time, that's a super big win for me.I'm glad you've had a mostly good experience, and it sounds like you do recommend them, which is great.I've had someone from vacasa reach out to me electronically, but I have yet to get someone on the phone that can talk about their ability to service my area.Hopefully that changes soon :)PS I lived in Austin for about 10 years about 5 years ago, and always thought New Braunfels was an up and coming place. 

I'm looking for some thoughts specifically for the downtown Sacramento market targeting either a two to four unit building or a 5 to 6 unit.I'm hoping to get some opinions on:Pros and cons of each (less than and more than 4 units).Current rents you are seeing for a 1 bed and 2 Bed.Buying in a good location with a building already and great shape or try to find a fixer.Best locations/ neighborhoods to target.Ideal cap rate and or cash on cash rate target, etc.
