Thanks Clayton for offering help.  I am dipping my toe in I would say.  We bought this small single family home to live in for a year with the intent on renting it in a year.  The numbers work well allowing us to cover mortgage and expenses with a bit of cash flow on top of that.  We are spending this year researching if we want to branch out from single family homes.  The idea of Turnkey makes me a bit nervous to tell you the truth but I just don't understand it.  I will look into it as with all other types of property.

Well then, lets conquer the world then Angie!!  I wish you the best of luck but you and I know there is no luck only hard work.  I can't remember what famous person said it but the saying is... "the harder I work the luckier I get".

So we took our first real active step.  We sold our spacious home in the nice neighborhood and moved into a much smaller and cost effective home in a great location.  I'm talking we moved two adults and two kids into a 2 bed 1 bath 900sqft home.  We had been living in 2000 sqft.  We were saving well in the first home but we thought hell we will downsize into a house that we want to eventually rent and at the same time save gobs of money to throw at the next investment.  The point I am making is that we are kind of all in.  We took active steps toward meeting our goals.  Now we have a year of saving and learning.  Don't call us crazy..... we are driven and willing to make sacrifices to achieve success.  We love this site and are soaking it all in.  Thank you.

Hi!  We are Jess and Shawn from Oregon.  We are just beginning our journey and are at the save money stage.  We will use this year to learn our market and line up contacts.  We expect to save enough this year to buy our first rental property.  It is our goal to buy many more over the next 10 years.  We are excited to build something together.
