Hi @Liz Camacho, welcome to the BP Forum! What type of properties most interests you, SFR, 2-4 MF, or 5+ MF? What is your price range/down payment amount? Are you looking for turn-key properties or something along the lines of a "fixer upper"? Are you looking for properties in your local market or somewhere else?
Congrats on launching your investing journey! Being a licensed realtor gives you a huge advantage—access to deals, market knowledge, and negotiation skills. Focus on building your first deal, learning the numbers inside and out, and connecting with a strong team (property manager, contractor, and lender) to set yourself up for smooth scaling. Excited to see your progress!
Congrats on starting your investing journey, Liz! Having both realtor and investor experience gives you a huge advantage since you’ll be able to spot and evaluate deals faster than most. If you’re ever open to looking beyond your local market, the Midwest is a great place to build long-term wealth—properties are more affordable, cash flow is stronger, and appreciation has been steady. Defining your buy box early will help you filter opportunities and stay focused as you grow your portfolio. Excited to see where your journey takes you!

Welcome, Liz! You’ve already got a great foundation as a realtor, homeowner, and now investor. The fun (and sometimes tricky) part is figuring out how to structure everything so you keep more of what you earn while you grow. I’m a CPA and Tax Strategist focused on real estate, and I’ve seen that the right tax strategy can be just as powerful as the right property strategy. Excited to see how you build your journey!
Welcome, Liz! Big congrats on launching your investing business, that’s a huge step.

Looking forward to seeing your growth. Feel free to reach out anytime.
Very nice! On the tax side, I'd look into real estate professional status. You have a golden opportunity with being a realtor and now rental property investor. I'd discuss with your cpa
