For plans that will pay off later, get into house hacking, save money for a first payment, meet people in local real estate groups and find a mentor, and put money into things that earn without much work like stock index funds or ETFs.

HI Conner, I have a home gym in personal home and I love it! 

I will soon have some funds (hoping between $100k-$150k) to be able to purchase my first rental property. 

I have seen plenty of huds on properties I funded for fix and flippers were commissions were that high or higher and lets not talk about wholesalers who might charge 100% if they can get awaay with it.. difference is they dont disclose the brokers disclose to their sellers..

Just found out about the pros and cons of turnkey investing and what it is, would you personally go for a turn key companie to manage your properties or do you have a more efficient way of taking care of your investment while being out of state.

My only suggestion with Zillow is to TRIPLE check the persons Identity (Have them show you their driver license during a showing), Call their last landlord, and call their employer.

Does this person have a business license?

Over 50% of the numbers were disconnected and of the remaining 50%, at least half or more were definitely the wrong person.

I would personally rent if it is temporary so you don't mix a personal and investment decisions.

They can be fun but also time wasters as well I have only personally bought off auction.com
