I recently joined BiggerPockets because I want to learn how to build financial freedom—first for my parents, and then for myself. 

We have been looking to purchase a rental property, but we don't want to create a worse situation for ourselves by adding a mortgage payment to our monthly expenditures, since his parents would not be able to afford paying us rent.

Hi Guys,I have heard some podcasts on bigger pockets where some investors have a strategy to focus on tenants first and then the property and keep the vacancy rates low. Can you share those investor names, books on it...

You’ve got the right mindset, but I’ll be honest: pulling off a house hack in LA with an $800K budget is definitely ambitious, especially if you’re aiming for cash flow.A few thoughts to help you out:FHA Financing – Solid idea if you’re going for a single-family or maybe a duplex.

These professionals can make or break the experience, especially when you're managing from a distance.You’re absolutely right to seek out people who share your long-term mindset.

Some of my top 4 favs:1) https://www.youtube.com/@novariseinvest (I love this channel for everything, especially financial mindset)2) https://www.youtube.com/@CommercialPropertyAdvisors (I love for commercial property strategic advice)3) https://www.youtube.com/@NoelleRandall1 (My first YT financial mindset guru)4) https://www.youtube.com/@PaceMorby (Pace is pretty popular)5) https://www.youtube.com/@alexhormozi (Great mindset influencer)

I’m bringing that value‑add mindset—and a NOI increasing into property management. 

Lifting more weight than you can handle can lead to serious injury.Lastly, your mindset around shared family wealth and systems is gold.

Love the mindset..CRE really is a team sport.Just to clarify, I’m not an LP in the traditional sense.

Lately, I’ve realized that not everyone deserves a front row seat to my goals.Most of my friends and family are good people but they don’t share the same vision or mindset when it comes to building wealth, real estate investing, or taking risks for long-term freedom.
