Just my two cents from a renter point of view: the truck wouldn’t bother me at all.

Hello Jake. Thank you for your offer. Unfortunately, the realtor never got back to me about setting up a time but I am still very interested in investing in Alabama. Do you work with people out of state? If you're willing to work with a REI newbie I'll shoot you a PM!

@Joe Richardson@Denise Evans Thank you for the words of encouragement and great ideas. I shall see how this goes!

Hello everyone,

I have listened to a lot of podcasts and read some books and want to start making moves in real estate. I currently am stationed at Pope AAF (Ft Bragg) North Carolina and am interested in investing in Montgomery Alabama because it seems to be cheap. I was looking on Zillow at some properties and got in touch with a realtor who knows a property management company and a broker to use. He wants to meet on my way back from Florida and show some neighborhoods and talk about what I'm interested in/my budget. However, being completely new to real estate investing I feel like I don't even know what I'm getting myself into and am nervous... I don't have any cash to buy homes outright so I'd want to start small. I feel very underprepared for this meeting... Does anyone have any advice about how I can prepare for a meeting like this? He knows I'm new to real estate investing and is willing to keep in touch with deals on the MLS. Sorry if this post was too vague...

Thank you.

Hello, I am in the education phase of real estate investing and keeping an eye on Zillow in the process. I noticed this came up and I am curious why a fully occupied apartment would go up for sale. Why wouldn't someone want to hold this and keep making money? Would you jump on this or are you as skeptical as I am? I don't have a ton of money saved up so that is why I'm not jumping on buying my first rental property.

Ok thanks for the tips

  Ok I will. Thanks a lot!  

Hello I am just beginning my real estate investing journey. A little about me - I am currently AD military living near the Ft Bragg area in North Carolina. I don't have the most money saved but I would like to start working my way towards financial freedom. 

I have been looking at this property but because I am skeptical I would like thoughts on if this seems to be a good idea or not. I don't have a ton of money to start but I could get a VA loan and a line of credit to do any rehab. Also why did this house sell for so cheap ($6,000) in 2016 and is now being turned around for $45,000? The link is posted below. What would YOU do?

Thank you for your time.
