New Real Estate Investor

[Karelle Johnson]

I am eager to get started in real estate investing. I live in the Antioch area and would love some tips on getting started. I have attended a couple of seminars but still trying to figure things out. I am searching the market for my first property. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Hi Karelle,

I purchased my first duplex using an FHA loan. This allowed me to put less money down and use that extra cash to put into the property and increase the value. I will be refinancing over the next couple of months now that I have the equity I need and will get rid of my PMI which will help boost my cash flow.
