[Arun Kumar Balasubramani]

Hi,

I am trying to buy my first investment, I found couple of offers, though numbers works out,  Couldn't finish that. I was not sure what are the other steps should i take before committing?

Currently I have couple of option around Buford area.  One of them is Duplex, Single Family home with two individual house in ground floor and other one in basement. Both have tenants.

My Question is what are the must have steps should i go through to make sure this doesn't become a liability?

I would appreciate your help!
