I’m a registered nurse in New York City, new to real estate investing currently in the process of learning and building my knowledge base to make my first real estate purchase.

Good advice from @Nathan Gesner and Account Closed Also bear in mind that if you can find a current deal that makes sense, and will generate even a decent amount of cash flow right now.....then you can just about count on it doing very well once you are able to refinance.

Current mortgage is $59k because I have been paying the principal down while we slowly try and figure out what to do. 

No current door properties my belt and I hope to have 1 property in 2024.

Depending on the way the note is structured, it’s currently between 4.5 - 6%.  

@Justin StearnsEncourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

I've read several books on REI thus far but realize that the great minds on this forum can also provide significant and relevant insight on strategies they'd apply in current market conditions if they could start over with $250k in cash.For context, my family and I reside out-of-country, at the moment, but will likely return to the US in 1-2 years.

This would mean if in 2017, you purchase a deed for a tax lien for 2013, you are also responsible for making sure the 2014-current taxes are paid.

I have multiple listings throughout the Bay Area currently, listing another this week. 

I'm currently in Dallas market and I just purchased my 2nd rental.
