I would encourage you to buy a duplex next as you should always have a rent check coming in.If you do not have cash flowing duplexes by you, you can find an investor friendly Realtor, like in this forum, and consider places that do cashflow like Michigan and they can introduce you to the rest of the team that you will need.To Your Success!

Same for 25%.At 20% expense ratio (hopefully you being an agent you know how unlikely it is to have sustained 20% expense ratio)$2100 - $420 - $2047 = negative $367/month.I would sell using your OO gains exemption and invest the money in the best investment you can find and I think that is unlikely to be another property or paying down your current OO loan.I know bigger pockets has become largely RE related, but it is possible that RE will not be the best option for everyone at all times.good luck

@Evan RekowskiWhy North Carolina Beats Out the Others (and Why We Chose It)We prioritize states with growing populations (to keep vacancies low) and jobs in stable sectors like tech and healthcare, since that sustains rent increases.

At current rates and high LTV, sustained costs would have this negative cash flow at double that rent.Now for the flip numbers (I always use the conservative numbers from any range):$719k purchase + $100k (rehab) + ($6350 (holding costs: $5.4k/month (interest only on $650k loan), $700/month property tax, $100/month insurance, $150/month utilities) * months to rehab and sell) + $75.6k  (selling costs (typically between 6% and 9% in San Diego if not a RE agent/broker - remember I use the conservative number of all ranges in my underwriting)If we use 6 months to rehab and sell (which is more aggressive than I would use in personnel underwriting)719,000 + 100,0000 + (6350 * 6) + 75,600 =$932,700$932k - $840k (ARV) = -$92k.Do you see anyway to make a decent profit on this flip.  

.🔑 Our Current Focus:Portfolio Growth: Acquiring and stabilizing 100+ units by year-end in the Texas, Oklahoma, and Las Vegas markets.Model Expansion: Developing a turnkey investment platform to serve international investors.Strategic Partnerships: Building relationships with investors, private lenders, and operators who are committed to sustainable, win-win real estate solutions.I welcome connections with fellow investors, lenders, and strategists who are interested in collaboration or sharing insights.

Buying property that falls within that category is not a sustainable investment strategy for most.

Specific to real estate, the real estate investor who takes their bumps and learns through mistakes and is still standing is better positioned for sustained success than the person who attempts to eliminate all waste and mistakes by applying other investors personal experience. 

FB Ads, we dont have as much repeatable success yet, so i dont do a ton of it.

Otherwise, it just isn't sustainable unless you have other assets backing it up.
