A duplex was my first investment, I lived on one side and rented the other out. It didn't pay for the entirety of the mortgage but just about. Now cashflows just fine with both sides rented. I love duplexes

You make your money on the buy. If the numbers do not fit with your model, PASS. There are always deals to be had it's just finding them.

Dude this is awesome! when I was reading your response this morning. My office mate Patrick looked over and noticed your name and said ya'll are working on a deal together in Ohio. Small world

Yes please keep me updated on your progress. I'm mainly looking for property for my wife and I in rural Texas. But I any properties that I come across that don't fit what I'm looking for I'll try and sell on terms. Again the main hurdle in my mind is the due diligence on the property, and comping the properties out. Everything else is just marketing. 

@Mike Alder Hey Mike any results thus far? How was your response rate for the 1500 mailers? My biggest question is valuing the land, also the seller criteria to focus on. It seems that Mark Podolsky focuses on back taxes.

Great question! @Account Closed

I would like to know the same. I run into title issues constantly and it seems there are more so on vacant lots. Usually due to probate and heirs.

@Harry Asnien Did the courses help out as far as your first land purchase? Can you give any details about your deal? Or how you got it?

Thanks

Austin is a hot market most are willing to make 20% to maintain volume and stay competitive.
