I’m Mark, a new real estate investor based in San Diego, leveraging my background in AI-driven lead generation to find off-market deals.I’m currently looking for small multifamily properties (duplexes, triplexes, or quads) to rehab and house hack, to build long-term cash flow while living in the property.Outside of real estate, I’m into fitness, golf, and exploring San Diego’s best outdoor spots.

@Eric Huntermark There are two big issues to be a real estate investor.

I'm a real estate investor in other parts of the country but not NY due to the extremely high buy in price.

Hi Salah,Welcome to the investing side of real estate!

I'm the same way, I'm originally from Portland Oregon and moved out to a new real estate market for this exact reason. 

Quote from @Naomi Feld: With last year's changes in the U.S. real estate industry, particularly concerning broker commissions, I am wondering what to expect to pay a broker for a home sale north of $30mm in the USVI.

@Jose Saladin Purchasing your sister’s home as a live-in rental offers instant equity (~$170K), tax benefits, and landlord experience, making it a solid first step into real estate investing.

I’ve been in the real estate business for almost three years now and have completed five deals: one buy-and-hold long-term rental, one short-term rental, and three fix-and-flip projects, for which I helped raise capital.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

It also gets you into real estate sooner and lets you start gaining experience as a landlord.
