I'm Andrew from Denver area.

This year, I’ll be sharing tips, insights, and lesser-known strategies to help you turn your housing allowance into an asset.

What type of investing do you do in Arizona to where this information is helpful?

Depending on the type of commercial you want to get into my suggestion is to go work for a company that does commercial real estate as learning from people who do it and getting paid at the same time is not a bad strategy 

Welcome to the community and be ready for a huge amount of information at your finger tips.

Quote from @Marc Zak: In the market where I live (San Diego), appreciation has been strong and many predict it will continue to appreciate in the long term.However, with current interest rates (6% at best) and property tax (2%), the annual cost burden is 8%.Am I correct in saying that appreciation has to be above 8% annually (plus whatever my maintenance and vacancy costs are) for me to make any money in this scenario if the property is cash flow neutral?

Quote from @Jaycee Greene: Quote from @Christina Tsutsui-Tharp: Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

What is a goal you have as you start learning about RE investing?

Going through my real estate journey I have learned a lot, I am 24, a veteran and a graduate from Temple University,I started with aspirations of investing on a property and making a quick flip.My problem lied with fear of failing, my capital and my savings.I decided I wanted to learn the real estate market and know the ins and outs before I would make a bold choice on buying my first real estate home.

You can definitely do it yourself and learn faster that way.
