Greeting all BP members! my brother and I for the past 6-8 months have made a commitment to be RE investors. With my brother being a recent college grad and myself having a family and responsibilities of my own we have limited funding so it forces us to come up with creative financing. What would you all recommend to be a good route to go for our first deal, Wholesale a property, go through private investor/lenders for potential flip of a property, or going through the bank getting a FHA loan and renting out a home or two flat?

Oh ok we'll if that's the case then it's a good deal. Renting and having to potential to flip if you want is a good route, good luck! @Andrew Syrios 

Most people looking to buy a home are families therefor two bedrooms isn't sufficient enough for a family. Three bedroom at a minimum @Andrew Syrios 

Wonderful thank you both for your comments. I wouldn't mind the tenants remaining there anyway because they're producing cash flow and at times it can be difficult to find quality tenants. @Brie Schmidt

Great morning and afternoon to some, I was hoping to get some guidance on this situation. I was looking for my first investment property to be a two flat and I was considering to go the FHA route for that. My question is what if the seller actually lives on a floor and is renting the other to a tenant, is that tenant required to move once the two flat is sold or can I take over the property and already have one tenant in place. I appreciate any help given, I'm also looking to invest in the Chicago land area suburban areas though.

 Victoria I appreciate you response and assistance! look forward to our future connections

Happy 2015 everyone! My name is Brandon Okitipi, and I'm a "newbie" to BP as well as the field of real estate. I'm very excited to pursue this endeavor for my family and I. I'm twenty eight years old with a wife and two boys and I know real estate investing  can grant my family financial freedom and control. As of now my brother and I has decided to go into business together because we both want the same thing out of life. Our business is called The Cavanaugh Real Estate Group and we're very elated to grow our business from the ground up! Our main objective is to network with other successful investors and get to the same level as every member in this real estate fraternity.  All the guidance, encouragement, direction, mentorship we can get we openly welcome that. I currently live in Evergreen Park Illinois which is a south suburb right on the border of Chicago so anyone in the area or even out of the area let's connect, inspire, and all grow! it's plenty out here for all of us to accomplish our personal and professional goals. Thank you for taking time to read this

Sincerely,

The Cavanaugh Group
