Learn the different types of real estate niches. Google it. Probably bunch of blogs.

Figure out expectations for roi and expenses in each

Then work your way down on the path you decide to go

Start in South Florida and use me as your agent 😜

Start with the areas you are most familiar with in terms of prop types, locations, etc. May not find good deals there, but it takes / time work to understand a market and you have a head start about places you know.

1. Where do I even start?
2. What %age of income should I invest?

I hope I'm not late.

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos. If focused on the tri-state area (NY, NJ, Long Island mainly) that would be even better. My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.

Good evening all,
With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?
