Where are you in your real estate investing journey?
I'm curious where everyone is right now. A. Still learning and haven't purchased my first rental. B. Working toward buying my first rental. C. Own 1–3 rental properties. D. Own 4 or more rental properties. E. Already financially independent through real estate. No need for a long explanation. Just drop your letter in the comments! And if you'd like, tell us what you're working toward next.

C and looking for something right now that won't be an alligator if cash out. Very excited to shop this year as seeing prices go down. Currently looking for a brick mutifamily 20yr old.

@Frank Contreras yes, I only buy things locally as I property manager and do most repairs/make ready myself. I have trust issues, what can I say 😂My SFHs and fourplex are brick 20yr olds so I am confident doing plumbing repairs. I have started looking at new builds but getting scared with the foundation issues I keep finding when go look at some 4yr old properties in person.

Nothing to lose by asking, right? I've heard mostly positive results. For those who have approached their local county/municipality, what is y our success ratio?

I hired a company last year that works on contingency. They get 25% of whatever they save me. I got tired of having to take a day off from work to go fight them.

Your W2 is the gateway to financial freedom
How many of you real estate investors are still working a 9–5 versus those who are actually living full-time off their rental cash flow? 🤔🏠💰 The reason I ask is because I strongly believe having a steady source of income while building your real estate portfolio is extremely important, especially in the early stages. Your W-2 income not only helps fund your deals, renovations, and down payments, but it can also strengthen your borrowing power and credibility with lenders. Personally, my 9–5 funds my 5–9! 💪 I’ve been able to scale my rental portfolio by leveraging my full-time income while also flipping properties to generate additional capital to reinvest into more rentals. My strategy has always been simple: Use active income to acquire assets that eventually generate enough passive income to replace that active income. I don’t believe in rushing to quit your job just because you own a few rental properties. There’s nothing wrong with having a six-figure career while building a real estate empire on the side. The goal isn’t just to quit your 9–5. The goal is to build enough financial freedom that working becomes a choice, not a necessity. Curious to hear from other investors: Are you still working a 9–5 while building your portfolio, or have you reached the point where your rentals completely cover your living expenses? And for those investing full-time, how many doors and how much monthly NET cash flow did it take before you felt comfortable leaving your job? 👇

Still w2 and it's funding my 5-9 real estate duties as well. After w2 work I'll be watching real estate or diy videos anyway. I have 3 rentals at the moment and hoping to get 2 more before I consider early retirement. Definitely enjoying the ride and learning how to fix things myself.
