Post: What was your first rental purchase?

My first rental was as an owner occupant. It was not intentional to become a landlord in the sense that I knew what I was getting into. I bought the house for $122,800. The rent at the time for the upstairs (Boston style duplex) was $630/month, under rented even at that time. I remember the grief I got from the mother of my tenant when we met and I informed the tenant that I was raising the rent to $700 for the up apt. The current rents are now $850 down and $1000 up which meets market standard.
The current market value of the home rests in the $170k range.
My story is more falling into something good and holding on. I've learned a lot over the years and have continued to expand my portfolio as well as set loftier goals. There was no criteria that I was operating with at the time. I really didn't start thinking that way until BP and I grew closer over the last several years. ;-)
The worst thing you can do is nothing.

@Mark Updegraff "Those that can let everything go, take good advice, and make a calculated risk are those that actually succeed."
Truth. Calculated risk is the best kind of risk!

All are attorneys I've worked with (or am currently working with) on deals. All are good. All represent a little bit differently. There are plenty more I've been a part of deals with and have good experiences with.
