@Chris Jensen Im of the mind that this whole idea of buying with no money down is very risky.

Generally it is not a good idea to have flips and rentals in the same company.

If you don't you have no idea if the seller can actualy sell to you.  

I want the passive income of rental properties, and I love the idea of multi-family units.

My interest was sparked when I heard about another student owning and renting out an apartment so I thought what a great idea I should do the same.

Problem with c/d properties it is difficult to find managers that actually care enough to be on issues immediately when they occure.Once you take control and beging to manage your PM you wiill have a better idea as to whether you should find a new one.

What are some other options, Do you think refinancing my current home mortgage and putting it under my wife’s name would be a good idea?

Is there other models/ calculators you all like to use to get an idea of what kind of investment you're making?

Not a question, but an idea: Tips for investors and realtors working together.
