I think the local municipality also seems to be generally encouraging toward development, and real estate but again that's super subjective.

I appreciate the encouragement and helpful links!

If not, I’d encourage you to use your own money until you have a solid track record.

@Mark Sewell Maybe suggest she check out this https://www.meetup.com/The-Real-Estate-InvestHER-Meetup-Austin-TX/ specifically for women :-) There will be lots of other "27 year olds" there who will encourage her that it's a great plan!

It’s really encouraging hearing other people’s experience doing what I’m trying to do now .

I encourage investors to find properties that might work for them and figure out a way, therefore avoiding paralysis by analysis.Property 2 - 2019 ActualsInputsMonthlyAnnual% of SalesRent$2,075$24,900Mortgage$591$7,09228.48%Landscaping$50$6002.41%RE Tax$353$4,23717.02%UPC Insurance$73$8813.54%Accounting$35$4251.71%PO Box$0$00.00%Repairs6.00%$125$1,4946.00%Net Income$848$10,17140.85%ROICash Invested$120,000Cash on Cash Return0.71%8.5%Dividend SplitMonthlyAnnualChris75.00%$636$7,628LP25.00%$212$2,543Total$848$10,171

Of course, where you buy will be determined mostly by your goals and investment philosophy.

I appreciate the encouragement, once I close a deal I'll feel allot more confident in the process.

I'd encourage you to finish setting up your profile and using the "keyword alert" feature to help you make connections with other BP members from your area.  

Thank you for the encouragement and perspective!!
