Best way is to start with your primary home. Buy just what you need, not what you want. Pay it down, build equity, then convert it to a rental. Buy your next primary, just what you need and not what you want. Pay it down, build equity, then convert it to a rental. Do it again, and again, and again. Retire.

Save money?

Flipping can do this. I do not flip, but you can walk away with some cash at the end.

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.
