Hello from southeastern MA

[Tim Slatt]

My story is probably pretty common...bought my Fall River, MA condo in 2007 (when I thought we had hit the "bottom" of the market...ya), lived in it for 5 years.In 2012, my wife and I wanted to buy a house, and selling the condo was out of the question since I could only get about half what I owed.So, we became landlords.And a funny thing happened…I enjoyed the process and a lot of things about it.I’ve found two great tenants who are low maintenance and pay on time.So here I am, looking for more property.I think I know what I’m looking for as far as a good deal, but I worry I’m not going to be able to finance the deal when I find it due to lack of funds.Hopefully between this forum, the podcast, and the half dozen books I’ve bought, the answers will come.We’ll see what happens!
