Tips for new investors

Samuel Nuckles
Posted

I’m heavily debating on getting into property investment after I separate out of the military soon. Will more than likely be going just north of Kansas City, but would like to eventually return home to the Quad Cities, Illinois.

I’m really interested in tips and advise on how to get started, risk vs reward, the process of dealing with PM’s, etc.

Any info would help a lot, and I hope this can also help other new people that are seriously considering this like me.

My advice would be start with a 2-4 unit property where you live in 1 unit and rent out the others. With a VA loan you can put 0% as a down-payment. Great way to get started with $0 out of your pocket.
