I am located In the LA area and am fairly new to the Realestate investment game..

@Donnie Martens BASE HITS WIN GAMES!

A few other tenants in 1-2 duplexes, going on payment plans however not game-changing.

If you have no $ and are getting in the game, I think you are gonna be on the sidelines for a while as the only $ you can get will be hard $ and it will come at such a steep price the deals will not be promising and have a ton of risk

Hi everyone,I am new to the real estate game so I have some  questions.I am going to be purchasing my first live-in property this coming year and am considering one of the below two options:Option A) Taking out a large mortgage for a nice duplex house with a legal basement unit that will help pay the mortgage; orOption B) Taking out a small mortgage on a fixer-upper house, and putting in 30k worth of reno's and then refinancing afterwards. 

I just feel defeated as I hoped house hacking was going to a bigger game changer for us 

I wasn't thinking about the long-term game. 

I know this doesn't guarantee cash flow or make them all a good investment, but it does discourage me to think about how I'm late to the game in Dallas and may be missing a good time to jump in in OKC.

It's been a game changer for me.

If so, Judy Marburger at National Lending is the best in the game.
