New real estate investor

[Aaron Kyle Kinslow]

Hello,

My name is Kyle Kinslow and I am a real estate investor based in Nashville, TN. My wife and I both hold down full time jobs but find real estate investing both enjoyable and rewarding. My wife is currently obtaining her real estate license. We are looking to get started through acquisition of foreclosures/ condemned properties followed by total demo and rebuild. Particularly, we envision building duplex properties that are shotgun style floor plans. I’m interested to know how you all financed your first project, the dos and do nots, and generally any advice for getting started. Did you use your own money or obtain loans? We’ve done as much internet research as possible and have self educated as much as we can. We would love to hear from some experienced investors and network.
