I would start small, be safe, look at your options for lending, and find people you trust to help you with everything that goes into a BRRRR.

I have decided to embark in my real estate investing journey and would love to hear from people about theirs.

Hello, I'm a self-managing landlord and I'm looking to build a network of go-to people for maintenance and emergencies.

But the example you gave, I would estimate $3M as a good starting point for the project.Your post liquidity also will be looked at as well.I would recommend partnering with people that compliments areas you may not be strong at for your project.

I have a clause that authorizes me to contact that person in case of "death, incapacitation, or incarceration" and work with that individual to coordinate removal of belongings, payment of rent, or even a refund of deposit.When someone dies alone, there is always a police investigation to ensure no foul play.

I've always found it interesting as a young kid how people could own more than one house when houses are so expensive.

Don't be nervous to call and ask questions, most people are happy to provide clarity so the process can go smoothly.
