Hi investors, Im ready to pull the trigger on my 1st of hopefully many multi's. However

Im pretty nervous about the property i just looked at. Its in a good neighborhood but the house is old. The home was built in 1870 and its a three family, a 3 bedroom, a two bedroom and a 1 bedroom. The price is 79,000 and is assessed for 203,000. however the 3 bedroom needs renovation, the other two had some work but needs more updating and the floors are sloped. I have not yet had an inspection done, i am not experienced as i am a newbie. I was hoping to find a general contractor as well to get an estimate of cost of fixing up the property. I would love to connect with someone who can help me with my first property. I know i have to learn this and have been reading as much as possible with the time i have. I am from Worcester County Massachusetts. Should i find a multi that doesn't need a rehab for the first property? Sorry so many question just i dont have alot of money and want to get this right! Hopefully i dont have analysis paralysis!!! would definately appreciate some input.  Maybe a 203k loan is a possible to help with fixing up the home? My rough guess is it needs 50 to 70k in work but thats why i want a pro to look at it and just want to know if it would be worth it.  Thanks again!!

Hi Robert and thank you for your insight!! As i see it, i have so much to learn in the buisness. Im so eager to get started and the truth of the matter is i continue to run in neutral, very frustrating but reality! I am forty five and feel life is just passing me by, so i need to continue my education and not to give up because i wont stop trying to achieve a dream of buying properties. thanks again!!!

well dawn i was thinking if i went ahead with the single family first i probably would go the USDA loan where its 100% financed. the area i was looking fit the criteria of rural area, and i seem to qualify on what i earn working full time. what are your thoughts??

I have so many questions on me starting out in becoming an investor!! being in november and tax season around the corner, my question to you investors is< Im getting like 4 thousand dollars in taxes and i am not sure if i should use that towards a down payment on a multi family for my 1st property or put that in a self directed IRA that i havent opened up yet but want to?? whats the best way to utilize that money for my first purchase?? I dont have any money to put down as a down payment which is holding me back in getting started. want to be a buy and hold investor. thank you!!!

Hi i am still looking to buy my first property. I dont have any money to put down so i am going the " first time home buyer" route. Im looking to purchase my first home and still become an investor. I want to buy a multi- family and being a 1st time buyer i want to take advantage of that program, but at the same time want to get a single family to raise my 2 year old in a house. I know buying a single family would make it tougher to get a multi because i would need to come up with 20% down as apposed to buying a multi as 1st. time buyer and living in it for a year or so with not having to put down 20%. do i just get the multi and live in it for a year then step down to a 2 family and down to finally my 1st single family?? would love to hear which route i should go. thanks
