Build on both?

Wholesaling is a great way to get your feet wet and build connections.

The general idea is that you must acquire an interest in real property you do not already own, and since you already own the subject real property you want to build on, the transaction must be structured so that you are creating an interest in real property you do not already own (in fact, it does not yet exist).

I do generally agree that once someone has their person, they are not going to be very open to switching. but if you can prove yourself with someone building that team, you may find yourself in a great position. 

Focus on one strategy, practice analyzing deals, and take consistent small steps like attending events and building relationships.

I currently work with investors looking to build their portfolio with single-family, long-term rentals while managing for them on the back end, making is hands-free for the investor to still work their W-2 job and live their everyday lives and spend it with family, hobbies, etc. 

My goal would be to build an investment net with passive income, de-risking the fact that I am the only earner.  

I'm in Columbia, South Carolina by the way and no I'm looking to build in another city but in South Carolina.

Rentals also build equity through tenant payments and appreciation, with profits taxed at lower long-term capital gains rates when sold.

Im old school...my cpa is in the building next door and I like doing business face to face.
