@Matthew Baltzell I find that getting the funds is the hardest part for me right now. Here in Phoenix, AZ I have the properties lined up!

Hey Mike, my wife and I are in Phoenix, AZ and have paid the $1500 for the USTLA program and are wanting to invest in this for the long haul and really make it work for us. If there is any knowledge you can send our way, it would be greatly appreciated. We are definitely into going about this in any way that is safe for all parties involved and of course, to make enough money to hopefully build our dream home. Let me know if you are interested.

@Chui Ong I am in the same predicament as you are. Difference being, I recently got married and moved in with my wife who rents out a HUD apartment only paying $50 a month. So we are faced with having to move somewhere else with more rent we'd have to pay (my name being on lease raises rent) or owning our own primary residence. The house we want and know is ours is $475k. We are learning that buying a multifamily property first and gaining that extra income while living in it for a year is probably the better idea. We can use an FHA Loan, save more money and have an extra income other than our full time jobs we both now have.

@AaronMaleh I am currently in Phoenix, AZ and am interested in being apart of your team here! I'm new to the life but my family and I have been talking about it for some time now and I've been reading all I can get my hands on. I'm hungry for knowledge.

Appreciate it Marlon.

Thanks @John Duffy. I will definitely heed that advice!! Everyone is different!

Nick J - I couldn't help but notice you are from Arizona as well. Tell me, what does "really affordable" look like for you? And would you agree with Jonathan that Tucson and Flagstaff would be two of the better cities to look at? Is $150k really affordable or $60k?

Thanks for the welcoming and I'm excited to learn all I can.

Paul - That's an incredible amount of information! I'm listening to Podcast right now.

Could you explain to me though or direct me to where I can get more information on HUD homes for small multi's?

Jill - Thank you so much for the welcoming! I literally just stumbled across BP. I didn't know it existed and the more I read, the hungrier I get for more knowledge!

Jonathan - Thanks! I haven't done any investing yet at all, but I have only been looking in PHX area so far. My situation is that we (my wife and I) are also looking for a house ourselves, currently. So I was thinking multifamily would be a great investment because I could live there as well as rent out the rest. I've only been in PHX for about four years now, so this is all really new. I'll look into Tucson and Flagstaff now as well though, thank you!

Hello everyone! I'm a super newbie into the real estate world who has many great ideas and goals of what I want to do, but hardly any money to start up as of yet and very little direction of where to begin. I want to start by buying a multifamily property, being owner-occupant, and renting out the rest. That's as far as I've gotten so far! I'm currently working through the course for beginner's but could use all the help I can find! Looking forward to building relationships, meeting and speaking with investors and turning dreams into a reality. My beautiful wife is all on board as well, just looking for some guidance! Thanks!
