Hello! I've been thinking about real estate investing for years and I'm currently looking at a couple of properties.  The hard part is figuring out if I want to buy a foreclosure, a multi-family, vacation rental, etc... I want to start small so I'm currently eyeing a house that's going to auction but I'm pretty sure it needs updating.  I'm also looking at a recently renovated multi-family (6 units).  My real estate experience is based on seminars and books - no actual or real experience.
