Another possibility - depending on where it is in Syracuse, consider commuting for 4-6 months while you save up money.

Outside of saving up for downs of 10-20% prior to looking for another property is the BRRR strategy the best option due to its debt leverage?

While online marketing does/can work it's also extremely noisy.

Again, I just feel that starting out may be rocky if going at it full time without a real estate portfolio built to support me, or some sort of part time job to help fund my savings.

Got a decent job saved a little bit of money and bought in the reno market when things were still fairly depressed.

I work part-time for a real estate company (Nomadic Real Estate) as a leasing agent and I just passed my VA salesperson exam so I hope to sell real estate in Virginia within the next couple of weeks.Within the next 4 years, I would like to generate enough passive income so that I can save for my future family.The ultimate goal is to generate enough money to be able to start and sustain a social entrepreneurship business to help schools in West Africa.On Bigger Pockets, it would be great if I could network with like-minded individuals.Francis
