Im looking to network and learn as much as I possibly can about real estate and later on investing.

So I'll add here that you're better off starting by reading multi-family books (including two of David Lindahl), listening to podcasts, asking questions on BP, networking.)

So I've obtained July and August rent in advance, and secured a larger deposit than normal. 

I am currently working on networking in my area and found a local meetup on the July 16th that I plan to attend.From all the strategies that I learned about so far I plan on starting with a multi-family unit that I can BRRRR so I can spring board into my next deal.

Working on educating ourselves, building a network, and learning about our local market (along with some potential out-of-state turnkey options).Looking forward to engaging with the BP community! 

I'm looking forward to networking with local investors/partners, contractors, brokers, etc.Good to meet you all!

I do enjoy programming on the side, which is self taught, but I would be more than happy to share that skillset as needed.I'm looking forward to networking with you all. 

Networking is the foundation of any good REI business!

As we celebrated the birth of our first born, and I worked from home, the walls closed in – so we went in search of a larger home and decided to rent it (we got just enough to cover the mortgage, but the taxes went up and before long, the difference was $100+/-month) …..and we took the first tenants who showed interest with $ in hand….which, unfortunately, were college students (The largest school in the nation , UCF, is 10 min away).

I can't understand if it is better to use this one-time big sum (>$300-400k, maybe a bit more) to leverage into a large (10-15 unit or up) MFH where I would be borrowing a lot, or to mostly pay off something smaller and immediately have a larger cash flow.
