New, serious, self-educating & want 3-4 rentals buy end of 2023.

[Nate Saenz]

Hello, my name is Nate -

I'm a motion designer and video producer based in Austin, Texas, but I'm about to move to Colorado.  I have a great career in tech (which is completely remote) and recently have had a serious interest in real estate investing. At the moment, I'm reading a lot of books and listening to podcasts to educate myself. I am fortunate to have some money to begin with, excellent credit, and a well-paying remote job. My goal is to have at least three to four buy-and-hold rentals producing cash flow by the end of 2023. It's also important to note that my wife is on board. I'm diving in and hopefully will be looking for my first deal soon.

It's great to meet everyone and discover this community.

Welcome.  If you have never had a rental property, I'd suggest you start out with one.  Buy the others in 2024 or over the next few years.  You learn a lot from the first one.  Do you have the money to buy all of those properties (down payment, room to borrow the other 80%)?
