Just bought my first investment.

[Ryan Mahoney]

After reading Rich Dad Poor Dad (I know - the cliche starting point for all of us), reading a few more books, listening through the first 70 Bigger Pockets podcasts all in the last 4 months I put an offer in and bought my first investment. A 2 story side-by-side duplex. 3/1 each side. Going to do some minor fixes, add a 1/2 or 3/4 bath in the basement of each unit, and start my adventure as an investor and landlord. Thank you bigger pockets for the motivation and education to get me started.

@John Thedford- Thank you!  

@Dave Van Horn - So true.  It felt good to do the research, put in a bid, and finally pull the trigger.  I still have work to do, but at least I am getting started.

@Scott Harper - Good advice.  I plan to speak with an attorney about my lease agreement and will do a thorough walk through and make tenants sign and initial all parts of the lease.  

@Kevin Moules - Good luck to you as well.  It is exciting to actually be putting what we have read and listened to into action.
