So it's official, I've closed on my first 3 unit about a month ago in RI. 2 of the units are already rented. Did some painting and light work to the 3rd. Have it listed and looking for potential tenants now. Finding good tenants is tough. Have it listed w Tellus & Cozy. No one wants to go through the application and screening process. Had a good number of inquiry. If anyone has some advice that would be great. Thanks.

So I'm hoping to aquire a 3 unit property fully rented. Each unit is a one bedroom. One tenant has 2 dogs, a small one and a medium size one. The smaller one barks a bit. These tenants have no pets addendum. They are on a lease. Another tenant has a small dog as well. She also has no pet addendum and has no lease.

I'm curious as to what my first steps would be once I take over the property.

Hi @Chris Bisaillon,

It's great that you have gotten started. Many individuals want to invest in real estate but they never find the confidence to actually get started. I'm assuming you analyzed the property before sending an offer; what is your intended strategy for buying the 3 plex? Are you using the BRRRR, fix and flip, or house hacking strategy for this property? Definitely keep the BP community in the loop on how this deal turns out. I'm excited for you!

Thanks I knew I just had to get my first deal under my belt. My intention is to buy & hold the  property. I want to collect some passive income and work on my next deal.

I put my first offer in on a 3 unit house! Got it under contract, had my inspection. Keeping my fingers crossed that everything works out and that I didn't make a bad deal.
