Question

Hey, I have $80K-$90K liquid money

Interested in investing in real estate

I have knowledge, I did wholesaling for 2 years

My goals are to increase capital + accumulate properties.  Would love to hear suggestions on how can I get there

Get into a house hack with 5% down. You can also leverage a HML if the deal works out for a Fix / Flip or BRRRR

Jaron Walling · Answer

Buy a SF rental, add some value (minor rehab), and refinance as the FED reduces rates in 2025-2026. Look for cash-flow near the 1% rule, hold $10k in cash reserves, and expect 2-4% appreciation.

Like mentioned already you're in a good market. In my opinion you can't fail unless you don't screen tenants correctly, buy in a bad neighborhood, or get over your head with a rehab.

Many beginning investors like to start off with a SF and or duplex. The smart thing to do is house hack. You can put less money down (allows you to put money towards more properties), live in the unit for a year, add some light renovations, and refinance. You can pull that money out, rent out the entire property, then go to the next. This should allow you to invest in 2-3 properties within a year. Lets connect and speak more!

To increase capital and accumulate properties, consider house hacking, investing in high-growth markets, small commercial properties, short-term rentals, private lending, partnering with investors, and investing in Real Estate Investment Trusts or Syndications. Continue wholesaling to generate additional cash flow and partner with investors who lack deal-finding expertise. Explore high-growth markets, explore small commercial properties, and partner with other investors for passive income and diversification. Educate and network to make informed decisions.

Good luck!

You're in the right place to begin with, but the choice is yours. Wholesaling skills translate well with both buy and hold/fix and flips. It all comes down to what you want to do ultimately. With 80K liquid, you could start fix and flipping.
