Taking the plunge

Hi BP friends, I am a contractor by day mainly remodeling homes especially bathrooms. I've been wanting to get into rentals and flipping for at least 10 years and have finally took the plunge. I found a house that was a VA foreclosure that I bought. It appraised for 15,000 more than I gave for it, then I went in and did some upgrades. Haven't gotten it re-appraised yet but I did finish the upgrades and put a renter in it before the first Payment was due thank goodness!! My goal is to buy at least 2 or 3 more each year for the next 10 years. I'd really like to get into multi-family properties as well. I guess my question is what should I do next from here, I want to keep moving forward but not sure I can with money tied up everywhere. Should I sit back for 6 months or so and then tackle my next property?

    Welcome Jarrod Cavinder wow what a good start! I'd say a lot of it depends on your long term goals and how you want to get there and the speed. No doubt having your skill set will serve you well.

    Welcome Jarrod Cavinder ! Those are lofty goals but attainable. As for the 6 month thing, only you can answer that. As for me, I am a little more cautious as I start out haha
