A little bit about my experience in Real Estate… I started a couple years ago doing some house flips in Detroit ( It was a 2 year plan) then decided to sell everything, moved to Washington DC which can’t afford anything in the DMV area but last year I purchased a very nice 3500 SQFT Duplex in Shaker Heights, suburb of Cleveland. 

As soon as we had the money saved and the opportunity presented itself, we jumped on the chance to start this journey!

Hi, I set up a Solo 401k last year to start funding my investments in real estate.

I would advise starting sooner than later.

i think you had posted in another thread about starting out of state, and i'm curious where you chose.are you talking to lenders already? 

To be honest, this sounds like a scenario that would be very difficult to start off with.

With property taxes and insurance on the rise, some investors are even seeing neutral or negative cash flow at the start.

If the rental is in town, maybe start looking on Craigslist, FB Marketplace and OfferUP for quality used furniture to have as backups?

There are no more new large projects started.

Jumping from say 3% mortgage to 6% mortgage has shifted the payment affordability more than (in most cases) the recent appreciation that we have seen in the market.
