Buying first property (Investment)

[Joshua Cassino]

Okay, Ive made it my goal to buy a (probably 3 family) rental property before i turn 21 (Nov 14). 

What will be the smartest move now?

* I have money saved but would NOT like to use it - other ways?

* when buying your first rental property, what do you wish you did?

* How to make sure its a "good" property?

* Is there a "red flag" with rental properties and how to figure it out before its to late

* how do you know how much all the monthly expenses will be - how to get the taxes/insurance expense - how much you can charge for rent and not be overpricing/underpricing?

* how do you keep a tenant happy and want to stay? (never saw this question before)

I know real estate is the way to go with investing. The people who say it isn't are the people who aren't familiar with its potential.

Thanks for your help, 

Josh
