@Kaz Iyama first off, you do NOT need to pay $20k (or anything close to that) to learn the fundamentals of real estate investing--all the most important info on REI is available for free, or for very little money (the cost of a few books).Before you can ever find a partner or mentor, you'll need answer the question: "What value am I bringing to the partnership?"

Keep your cash for the next deal.For reference, I used a USDA loan which most people think is for rural homes but if you look at the map of what is USDA eligible you can find some pretty cool spots.

Plus, when done correctly, a house hack will lower your expenses while increasing your income in a single step--the fundamental key to building wealth.Good luck out there!

Your profile mentions that you are an agent.If you have rentals, you may potentially be eligible to claim real estate professional status which may help your tax return status.best of luck.

Maximize on one of the greatest benefits provided to military members, veterans, and eligible spouses.I wish you all the best in reaching your goals!

I'm about to change jobs and my current 401k will become eligible to roll over to a ROBS or SDIRA.

For a gross high level comparison in the San Diego, LA, Santa Barbara areas multi unit properties or those eligible for short term vacation rental usage are highly desirable and are generally offered at +/- $350k-400k-500k per door depending on condition, unit sizes and location.

The rates and low downpayment make it worth it for sure but make sure it is in a USDA eligible area.

The book Shift is fundamental IMO if you're investing for appreciation!

This tenant has been on TRA for nearly 5 years (he's disabled) and they review his eligibility every 6 months when they sign a contract with the landlord.
