And if you buy a new house, determine how much you could earn if you rented it out.I would probably sit tight.

Go find the right match and enjoy the profits.For the long run, talk to everyone you know about what you do and that you can help people earn 10% plus returns on real estate secured loans.  

If you're splitting the money, time and effort, seems reasonable to split the profits as well (including any commission your friend earns as an agent on this property).

Looking to start with Wholesale Real Estate Investing, so if any Seasoned Veterans here looking for a Mentor and earn some cash on any deals I snag, feel free to reach out to me!

@Jesse SteinIf you can use that $50,000 and earn more than what you would having it otherwise locked up in the property, this could be a smart thing to do.

Thankfully, I have a day job that I earn enough to allow me to get right into commercial.

You will learn and earn while you do it.

@Jasmine ZA suggestion you may or may not of heard about is being a private lender to rehabbers earning 10 to 12% for short-term loans, receiving a mortgage or trust deed security for the loan and rolling that over and over.I would take that interest money and paid down student loan debt.You need to get your debt to earnings  DTI downYou could also buy houses on land contract in Wisconsin then doing a lease to own exit, land contracts are common in Wisconsin

Happy learning and earning!
