A personal reason behind this goal is wanting the option to be a stay-at-home mom while maintaining financial independence and assets of my own.This year, I’m taking advantage of my time off to travel and personally oversee renovations on my first property, so I can learn hands-on and build a repeatable system.My 5-year vision:Year 1: Learn BRRR, build relationships, execute first deal, oversee renovation, stabilize with tenant, and positive cash flowYear 2: Refinance first property, recover some capital, execute deal #2Years 3–5: Scale into duplexes or small multifamily, grow passive income to ~$5K–$10K/month while building equityI’m currently exploring out-of-state markets like Indiana (my sister lives in Chicago), Ohio, Georgia, and Texas, to find a place where I can start building a repeatable system.A few questions for experienced investors:-For a first-time BRRR investor, is it smarter to start with less cash in with a single-family home or a small multi-family, assuming I’ll personally oversee the renovation?

There's this property that is under my sister's and her soon to be ex-husband's name.

I'm interested in OKC as my older kids live there, if you're interested in SouthEast TN.i'd love to run across an ABnb opportunity anywhere south of OKC to have a place to bring their Brothers and Sisters out to visit.

Having said that my sister lives in Milwaukee and I really like the area she is in. 

Ideally I love the sound of a house hack with a small multi family especially since I have a tenant lined up for whenever I get a place in my sister who will be moving in.

Joists can be jacked up and sistered to address some joist sagging.

Harrisonburg is a nice town IMO (my sister went to JMU all 4 years).

First Investment I would talk to you about would be a class B sfr 2-2 in a sister city (close to large metro).

My sister did some ARMs on SFHs during Covid and just had 4-5 houses rate adjust in the past 3-4 months and she got absolutely slaughtered on her new rate.

So my father just passed away and he left his home which is a fairly new build to my two sister who are minors.
