Jumping into real estate as an entry-level investor is a smart move, there’s a lot to learn, but you're in the right place to build that knowledge and connect with experienced folks.

Some investors also look at the Midwest for more consistent cash-flow plays, especially if they prefer lower entry prices.

With lower entry prices compared to many Texas metros and projected home sales growth exceeding national averages, these areas provide opportunities for stable cash flow in single-family rentals.

Hello everyone! I am interested in hearing some of your stories on how you got started into real estate. The good the bad and the ugly. Your successes and failures, how you got through tuff times and how you built you...

I have several properties that I would like to refi to lower rates.  

If anything the shared appreciation program seems more of a benefit for a lower payment and lower barrier to entry. 

Go out of state to a market with a low barrier of entry.

WE lowered rent once for one tenant, it was during the winter and sat vacant, but I think that was in the 1990s, so have not lower rent for anybody since.

I know this wasn't your question, but I always get nervous when an investor says they want to invest to lower their taxes. 

Lower barrier of entry, Better cashflow, good appreciation, more deal flow.
