What is the #1 things to do when purchasing 1st rental property?
As I am in the early stages of my real estate career, I also want to build a strong investment portfolio as an additional stream of income. I also want to become versed in this area so that I can partner with investors who seek deals in my area. Seeking advise / guidance from the experience within this community. Thank you in advance for your advise, comments and feedback.
