Bought my 2 rental property last week
Well last week, my wife and I closed on our 2nd rental property. It is a house that was converted long ago to a 3 unit. This makes 7 units for us total. We bought our first property 5 years ago this month. Hopefully after all the hard lessons learned and knowledge gained from the first property, it won't take another 5 years to get our third. Thank God and thanks to Bigger Pockets.
