Welcome to BP @Daniel Goldberg! It's great that you've already got a couple of properties under your belt, and even better that you're looking to continue adding to that portfolio of yours. Sadly I'm not up in your area, but I wish you the best of luck going forward! Look forward to hearing of your successes on here

Welcome to BP @Waylon Smith! I'm surprised you have enough time to work/invest with all those outdoor hobbies, sheesh! Jokes aside, the BP community is happy to have you and happy to help in any way possible. Wish you the best of luck going forward.

Having lived in College Station for 4 years, this home sounds like a dream come true and one I would have loved to live in.  The location seems amazing and the picture gives it a great look too.  Congratulations on your investment!

Congratulations @Steven Vasquez! That's amazing, man.  Very happy to hear that went well for you.  Going into it can be scary, so it's great to hear that you were successful and learned lessons along the way.  Excited to hear about your next endeavors and successes!

Welcome @Dinara E.!  I think it's amazing that you already have an investment under your belt, and what better way to learn than just doing it.

If you don't mind me asking, what drew you to real estate investing? Seems like a pretty big switch from Nuclear Engineering to real estate!  

I'm in Austin and would love to connect to chat further to help you research and dive in further!

Welcome @Manju Nat! And congratulations on your first investment already!

Austin is a great place to look into, and I'd love to help you with your research into the area if you need any.

Best of luck!

Welcome @Alyssa Melotik! I'm not from Detroit myself, but I have plenty of family that lives up in Ann Arbor/Lansing, so I'm at least familiar with the area.

Not so much to help you find that quadplex up there, but just to give you some props for the steps you've taken so far.  It seems like you have a great plan in place and are taking all the right steps to get started, so way to go!  Even after your first deal, continue to learn and immerse yourself (as you already are).  If you ever end up wanting to invest somewhere just ~slightly~ warmer , I just might know a place.

Wish you the best of luck going forward!

Welcome @Cynthia Walker! Kudos to you for building that courage to try this out. 

Investing in real estate can be very daunting, and education is so important.  The webinars and blog posts on this website are very educational and help a lot. I also highly recommend the BP podcasts - they give great pieces of advice on various topics, as well as help you familiarize yourself with the language/terminology/process of investing.  They also can be very inspirational for you as a listener, hearing stories of people earning millions, many of which started just as you are now!

You've already taken that first step, so keep it up! Looking forward to hearing of your successes. 

Welcome @Camille Varughese!

I think it's great that you and your husband have really taken the time to learn and educate yourselves before jumping into the world of REI. That knowledge can really go a long way, and I hope it pays off for you both. Can't wait to hear of your future successes.

Yes ma'am I am a licensed agent here in Austin, and the market is pretty competitive right now.

As with most transactions, it depends on the price point, and that can vary. To answer directly: the cash flow for duplexes/small MFH tend to be better than SFH due to the economies of scale and where the rents are in the market currently.
