@Account Closed I'm new to real estate investing, but I do have one sfh in sugar city Idaho that's rented and we're almost done with a trailer in St Anthony idaho. One thing that helped me was that I read a lot books before I started, on subjects I felt I needed to know, usually the authors were ether Robert KiaSaki or Donald Trump, I have read a few of Brandon's books as well. I my self have found that I find an easier time finding properties out side of popular areas. Rexburg, were I live, is outrageously expensive because of the college, however sugar city was not when I bought my first house. We rented that out and receive $1295 a month because it's 5 min from Rexburg but saved probably $75,000 or more on the mortgage. Our next place was a trailer in St Anthony, 15 min from Rexburg, we should get $650 a month. It's not as much as the house but we were able to pay cash so there is no mortgage, this trailer will have a high coc return. Granted I wasn't Enthused about living in a trailer but our goal was to create assets and so far it's worked out fairly well. So I don't know what the market is like in Boise but maybe the surrounding areas of might be a better opportunity than the city itself. Another thing that might help is to read books on some of the smaller topics, one thing that I picked up from some of the Reading that I do is that managing properties is more complicated than just fixing toilets, finding good tenants, doing background checks, doing evictions, etc. can be complicated. There are a lot of resources and websites that can help with this but for me I found that I'm not interested in becoming an expert in this area, so I still learn and dabble in this area but I have used a management company from the beginning which because I found a good one has been well worth the small amount of money I've had to pay them, they have been very helpful and patient in the old teaching me some of the things I need to know about the local markets in real estate tricks. Just be creative and read a lot of books but don't get caught and analysis paralysis LOL, good luck. Hopefully this is been helpful.
