Beginner RE Investors for a Duplex

April Bellard

Posted

Good morning all, I am just starting out with RE investing.... Learning, reading, researching etc  at this current time.  I do not have lots of money saved up, but I am saving every month and preparing myself. I am gearing towards my first duplex. My question is to you...If you had to do it again the first time, would you invest in a duplex?

@April Bellard I think it is a preference April and what is the best deal. Whatever is best for you is right. Ask for opinions but trust your gut. Breath..you have time to learn this and be successful. One step at a time. If you are new to it it can feel like a fire hose..take a few sips to start.

You can buy properties so many different ways: owner finance, subject to , no money down, very little down, get a bank loan etc.

@Dion McNeeley has some very valid points.

Asking, Studying, Evaluating and soon Viola! you will look at a deal and know that that is a really good deal to move forward on.

Best of Success!
