@Zachary Dorff Welcome to BP, great post. Those two books you read are great, helps build a foundation to get started in REI. Continue build upon that, read more book, podcast and network.
As far as what strategy, I suggest start with the end in mind, and work backwards. If it is cashflow like you mentioned, invest where it makes sense with your financial situation.
Always happy to chat about RE.
Cheers,
Carlos

@Account Closed great book. After finding a lender and getting pre approved you’ll know your purchasing power and work from there. House hacking is a great way to get started. You get to reduce your living expenses and possibly cashflow and learn your strengths and weaknesses.

@Account Closed Welcome to BP. Are you reading “The book on Rental Property Investing”? It is great that you are building an educational foundation. Write down your goals and pick a strategy/niche that will help you achieve them and that work best for your current situation. After I would say identify property type, market, price range, conditions, and profitability.
Cheers.
