@Tracy Keffer you’re right about making offers. Transparently, that’s something I’ve never done!

I hadn’t thought about investing networking/events for investors. I appreciate the offer! :)

I need to dig into the bigger pockets community more to find a mentor or something to help me through my first deal! That would be ideal but not sure how to go about that without asking directly.

@Jaron Walling yeah I think that’s where I get hesitant. I want something I can add value to but not something I have to rely on contractors before it’s livable, ya know?

@Nicholas L. I do. So my consideration is buying 1 with the goal of buying more. It’s not about money for down payment+remodel+reserves, it’s more about overthinking about the choice of direction.

@Alex Breshears hi Alex! Kudos on the book and NO I’ve not considered that. I’ve thought about that but have no idea where to get started.

I might have to check that book out!

@Michael Deering smart! Yeah I think I've been trying to find something I can add value too. Sorta BRRRR but then I'm always uncertain of multi-family vs single family.

@Remington Lyman hey buddy! Yeah maybe this is my matured approach with delayed financing.

@Joshuam R. I know it will get easier after the first time! But you’re right, just gotta do it!

And above someone said that a house in-demand 20 years ago is likely still a great investment today.

@Wale Lawal thanks Wale!

Yeah it’s a balance here of keeping it liquid for real estate when I’m ready.

Otherwise, surplus’s will go into the stock market.

@Jeremy H. You’re right. I think I’m constantly looking for a home run rather than a splice base hit. Good analogy.
