Hello, my name is Jeff. I close on my first rental property purchase in 2 - 3 weeks. I wasn't expecting to buy my first rental property until next year, but I came across a deal that I couldn't let pass by. I joined bigger pockets to learn from people that have been successful in the buy and hold game and also because I have no idea where to start when it comes to doing background checks, marketing the property, and what I'm supposed to be tracking along the way. Hopefully I can absorb enough over the next couple of weeks to at least get me off to a good start.
