Hey everyone.  I'm new to BP and have limited dealings in real estate. I performed one live in flip about 4 years ago and doubled my money.  I put most of that money into my new house and I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on low money down options for rental property.  I tend to over research everything I do, so I've been watching the market in my area, reading books and trying to absorb as much info as possible before I take the plunge.

I would appreciate any first hand advice that anyone can offer......things to do and definite things to avoid.  I have a good deal of business management experience and I've been making other people millionaires for too long.  It's my turn
