Hello everyone

I have taken the plunge into real estate investing after listening to BP podcasts over the past year with the goal of financial independence.

How have I taken the plunge:

1] I have visited 2x single family homes in the past 2 weeks.

2] I have visited 2x duplex properties today [See attached file for the duplex of interest].

3] I have obtained bank pre-approval for a loan.  Only to find out that it's approved for single family homes, now I have to find another bank who will approve me for multiplex property loan.

4] I have obtain a real estate agent on my team so far.

I'm still trying to get a hang of doing the calculations. I feel like I'm missing some information that would help me more accurately gauge a property and I am not sure how to obtain that without the help of a real estate agent.

I am open to and appreciative of any feedbacks on how to improve my journey towards financial independence via real estate investment. It is a lot harder than how the BP podcasts make it out to be.
