Quote from @Sri Reddy: I am a newbie to real estate investing and looking for guidance from the teams here to understand the sources from where we can find any small retail spaces to buy.

Was wondering if I could turn one of my spaces into an assisted living multi-tenant facility as it’s in a great area for it and can be changed with a reasonable rehab.

While I own quite a few rental units already, I thought condos might be a good option to gift to my kids when they turn 18, offering them a safe introduction to property ownership without too much risk.However, my challenge with investment condos is that the cash flow always seems terrible.

Our kids are 2, 6, 9, and 11.Would LOVE to connect!

no garbage disposals, be clear about how to work the house, some kids don't know what a breaker is.

The best way to learn about how to really invest in real estate is to read books, listen to good podcasts, and pair that with going to in-person meetups so you can see people just like you, married with 3 kids, who are making it work for them.

I also want to purchase and repurpose unused spaces around various metro areas myself someday and I figured what a great way learn by helping someone else succeed.

Staying local and house hacking—especially now, before kids—gives you so much flexibility to set yourselves up for long-term success.Your financial foundation is super strong, and house hacking a quad sounds like an amazing first step for you two.

Exactly 1 year later my first tenant moved his family in where his kids and dog can play in the massive yard while raising 2 cows in the barn.

I'm also considering a separate living room space or maybe some kind of artist studio.
