@Francois Francis It all depends on where you think you'll have the most fun, honestly.I started out with a multi-family, started wholesaling, tried to flip 2 houses, then bought another multi and launched a property management company.I learned a ton along the way.

I'm using equity in my house to pay for the down payment on my first deal.  Two options are available, and I'd like to get feedback on the pros and cons for each!Scenario #1: 40-year interest only loan that results in...

As you were explaining your situation, I pictured you all strapped up in a bungie jump harness, standing at the launch pad at the top of a bridge.

I'll start pumping it and officially launching next week. 

When it's coming out of your wallet from a week's pay, you think harder, do more research, and make sure it's the right marketing strategy before you pull the trigger...which is a good thing.So, my advice, if you can refinance the principal balance for a lower rate, and that frees up some money in your monthly budget so you can launch a motivated seller marketing campaign...then THAT is the right route. 

So I registered to do business in Indy, have my attorney & CPA, launched my first Indy direct mail campaign yesterday, visited Indy to drive areas of some of the properties I was interested in.  

I just launched a website [LINK REMOVED].

These platforms essentially just need investors to declare that they are accredited investors prior to logging in and actually finding deals.I am personally very excited about the concept and am working on launching a platform specifically focusing on Colorado and the Midwest.

Now she launches into a rambling tirade (same tone as that nasty voicemail landlord played me) and says that this whole situation has left a bad taste in her mouth and that my lack of professionalism (?)

     After reading the articles here, and listening to podcasts and BP'so YouTube videos, I have pretty much settled into getting my MD real estate license but as i launch into this venture, I really wanted to offset my tax liability as well.
