dude my future plans are property too, but I know tons of people who do it and I listen to people who know there shit… I know everything I know by listening to others who knew it before me.
If I invest it will be a minimum of a 4 unit and I will buy it needing work. Needing work does not mean its in a shiity area whatsoever lol, it means its cheap and if you or someone you know can do the work cheap its a steal. My friend bought a house in Saratoga in an amazing neghborhood for 68k and sold it for $240k with 6k in repairs, why wouldnt you??
