Quote from @Nadeem Alamgir:
Hey Kameron commercial and triple net deals are great long term investments but they usually take a lot of capital and experience to underwrite properly. Many seasoned investors I know never started with commercial.
House hacking is still one of the best ways to start. Low down payment, easier financing, and it builds real experience managing tenants and property. Once you’ve done that, scaling into bigger deals gets a lot easier because you’ll have a track record, and lenders/investors will take you more seriously.
So I’d focus on saving, learning, and executing your first small deal. The experience will open the doors for everything else you’re aiming for later.
Hi it's nice to meet you! yes I've been looking into more residential properties (mainly duplexes) to invest in for house hacking. Thank you so much for the advice!

I would go with house hacking. It's the lowest risk in my opinion. You already need somewhere to live and you can offset your housing payment and learn landlording. It also Has the lowest down payment option and you can do this strategy every year if you want.
Yes! Ive started to look into this quite a bit more now and it sounds like a great opportunity to start, I've been looking at some residential properties that I could probably house hack.

Hi Kameron, nice to meet you! Nice to see someone research this much at such a young age. My advice would be to save as much as you can, and for your very first investment, do something a bit easier to manage with fewer headaches and less risk. I'm thinking maybe an affordable turnkey investment property out of state from a trusted turnkey provider, or perhaps even a 2-3 bedroom low-cost condo unit, where you could rent by the room to students. This ensures you could get in the game quicker with less risk and then scale from there. Hope this helps and feel free to reach out anytime!
Thank you so much for the advice! I will definitely be looking into this as an investment opportunity!

Hi everyone, my name is Kameron, i am 19, and have been interested in real estate for quite some time now, I just recently got my real estate license and am trying to save up enough money to purchase my first investment property! I have been looking into residential up to 4 units so then i can purchase with an FHA loan and house hack but the more I look into it the more headache I see that others are experiencing!
I recently have started to look more into commercial (specifically the triple net lease deals or storage) and I would absolutely love to start out with something like this, I just have nowhere near the amount of money required for just the down payment), what should I do in this situation? Should I save up more money? Or maybe I was thinking that someone would sell their property seller finance? I would love some advise and maybe even a mentor to guide me through this exciting journey! Thank you!!

Hey BP! I'm new to the community and excited to explore! I'm 18 years old and currently living in San Antonio. Recently I've been trying to get into real estate by wholesaling so then I could get some experience but when I skip trace nobody will answer the phone! (or its an old phone number that they don't use anymore) I am currently using Propwire because Propstream is pretty expensive. Does anyone know why this is happening or are others having this same problem? Or is this a normal thing that happens to every wholesaler?
