Newbie looking for advise.
Hi BP'ers,
I just started listening to bigger pockets podcast recently. I love that this community is out here! Thank you Josh, Brandon & team!!!
I am currently working on purchasing my first rental property close to the Mayo Clinic. It is small but I will pocket $300-400 per month with the current renters who want to stay.
How do analyst this purchase to determine if I am getting a good deal in the long run? It is a small 1 bedroom house but it cash flows. I am buying from a friend who buys foreclosure and either flips, sales or rents them. Any tips or advise is appreciated!
I eager to learn all I can about buy and holds, and also connect with folks in Rochester, MN.
Thank you friends!
Luke
