I have experience in economic development and finance, but am looking to build a portfolio to not be 100% dependent on a day job.

Over time it can, but you need a job to get a mortgage to buy a rental and most rentals will not make you rich quick.

Great job locking in a tax sale deal with strong upside.

I have a great paying day job, and i have enough cash on hand for 6+ months reserves.

I moved here from Portland in 2020 to start investing and now own 10+ rentals, and I’ve seen that the macroeconomics are really strong—population growth, job growth, and major companies like Intel, Amazon, Google, Facebook, Honda, and Microsoft expanding here.

Hi Kira,Great job so far with your real estate investments!  

@Stuart Udis I agree on multi units , making tenants responsible for common areas is a bad idea .

I myself I'm a realtor as a full time job.

You just purchased yourself a job.

The most common example is when you’re using favorable FHA financing (assuming the leverage is being used responsibly).
