If you are going to self-manage, you need a great TEAM.

As for the areas to target, my goal in getting our feet wet as real estate investors--and since we plan to be living in Sac--is to find a property we can live in while renting out one or more units to help cover our housing expenses, which we can then hold and continue to rent out when we move.

-So currently own 7 units in central MA area, soon to be more after my next refinance in 2 months.- Now helping other investors achieve their goals, whether you are brand new or a well seasoned investor.How I Can Help: -Connecting investors with trusted contractors, lenders, attorneys, property managers etc.

If you make the purchase prices much closer, then the waterfront unit should do better.You are going to have to run the numbers.

@Tom GrieshammerThe best bang for your buck would be buying an existing duplex with an owner-occupant loan and putting down 3.5-5% and live in one unit.

So, it's not like Scott had devised some extra default prone strategy to troll gullible fools, while making all his money teaching noobs to self-destruct.

Along with the dwelling unit described herein, the Premises include the following: (i) _____ Storage Locker; (ii) _____ Parking space(s) (Identified as _____ and containing _____ parking spaces (also see Section 9 below); (iii) _____ Garage (Identified as _____ and containing _____ parking spaces and _____ transmitters (also see Section 9 below).

We profit about $1200 a month from both units.

we have a development in this area that should be completed in the next 6 months, 2 units. 

My Canadian partners and I bought a Class B 144 unit in Houston, Texas for 77k/door and we’re actively looking for another similar deal.
