I’ve been into real estate and have been in the learning phase for a while but i’ve been taking more action recently in looking for deals and getting deep into networking.

For these reasons, I'm thinking it may hinder my overall goals, but don't want to completely rule out the possibility if folks out there have found success.As far as why I'm drawn to the career: flexible schedule, weird love for numbers, driving for dollars between jobs, general REI adjacency, daily variety of location, outdoor/indoor, relatively active (on my feet), potential for solid income after certification (especially on the commercial side). 

If they will not I would drive for dollars and find a deal and see if someone will partner with you, or if you have some down payment money try calling local banks and see what they can do.

This data is a warning signal and yes, Austin will not be immune. I also got an email from my Yellow Letter marketing provider today titled "a forbearance tsunami coming". Caveat emptor my friendshttps://wolfstreet.co...

Purchase price: $360,000 Cash invested: $26,000 Sale price: $1,325,000 Bloomfield Mini Storage was approximately 15K square feet with about 1600 of office space ad the remaining being typical drive up access self storage units.

Currently we are thinking of something along the lines of "While driving around, my girlfriend and I drove past your duplex located at “123 Mainstreet” and we think it is perfect for our first home.

Considering the big chunk of change that is even 3%-5% down for houses at Boston prices, I wonder if it may be worth it to buy in a neighboring town (within a 1hour driving radius) where prices are notably lower, put a more traditional amount down (10-20%), and just rent out fully without house hacking.

Both you and @Taylor L. really drive home the differentiation factor, so I will take that to heart. 

@Andrew Bang thank you for that advice but I am wondering like if I see a house while driving for dollars do I ask the seller for all the info on the house or just try give a ball park estimate of the purchase price?
