You're buying a business, so you need to read the financials. 

Hi everyone, please read my story in the comments below.

As you read these books, watch the BiggerPockets podcasts.

Hello Robert,I enjoyed reading your post. 

Hello @Peter Mckernan, These tips are very helpful and will definitely use them on future listings.

I am certain, I have many more questions and things I should consider and look forward to reading many of the informative posts on the website and look forward to hearing your advice, thoughts and/or questions.Thanks!

I just read about it this morning and think it is great news.

Then you can read a more in-depth book like The Book On Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner or The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Spencer Strauss.You need to get a firm grasp on two things: the ways to make money with real estate, and how to find deals that match your goals.P.S.

My suggestion to any one that are first time real estate investor in fix & flip, or planning to hold property for rentals, is to learn or read, understand about real estate financing first, build your assets and network or partner withsome has completed some projects in fix & flip and has some rental properties with positive cash flow within your immediate area before dving in to any project by youyrself.

The presumption of most reading this is you mean stocks and bonds and other assets you would buy from brokerage houses.
