Hello Everyone,So great to be part of this great community.Quick intro: i am an IT engineer with strong interest in building wealth through BRRRR and rentals.Please provide your honest opinion:I want to start my journey in this month and i have read books on brrrrr,rental properties and listened to podcasts.I have some liquid and can afford properties in and around dfw with 100 ARV.I am good with communications,engagements etc.But as a newbie should i directly jump into brrrr or start with rental properties with decent cashflow and appreciation?
