House looks great. I'm sure it will sell quickly for you. Hindsight being 20/20. Would you do it again?

It took a little longer than expected, but we close on our 3rd property next week!!  Thanks for all the support from this community and the friends I have made locally. 3 months ago this was a dream and now....The real work begins.

It never hurts to learn on someone else's dime.  Maybe seek employment with a PM company, residential remodeler, real estate agency?  It will give you access to the industry and possibly some sweet deals:)

I was unable to view your contact info. I think you need to change your privacy settings. I'm in Louisville. How can I help?

lots of people invest in the west end. It's the most affordable area to start out, but comes with tons of headaches. It depends on your tolerance level for being a landlord. Personally, I would like REI to be as passive as possible. You get that by screening your tenants well and hiring a PM company.

Read the book , " landlord nightmares". It was written by a west end investor years ago. I would try Carmichaels books. I doubt that a national chain would carry it.

Welcome Latravis! I too am new to BP. Reading throughout the forum and developing you team is the best way to start out. 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the USDA provide govt backed mortgages? You might have an inside track there.
