I think everyone's situation is different, and when one crafts their buy box, they need to consider their current family and finances.For me, when I started, I wanted to buy 2-4 unit distressed properties in neighborhoods I wanted to live. 

@Mike Levene cost to build per square foot is $200-$300 depending on finishes.So, you can start with that.

What you can do is let them know that you can no longer subsidize the tenant and that you're preparing to start the eviction process.You don't need an attorney to tell you that you are running a business - not a social services organization. 

Will Investor Edge allow us to see a Demo b4 paying the $4000 to get started They will, but the demo is basically a white labeled Prop stream.

What would you say your goal is: A) Cashflow Growth B) Net-worth Growth  The goal is to learn as much as I can about multi family or similar apartments and to get started by the EOY.

.: When I started I moved to where real estate was the cheapest in the country.

Then once I find a property that I like to buy I'll start looking at the comps in the area that have been rented and are currently on the market to be rented and make sure that my mortgage payment will at least break even with the rental comps.I'm using rough estimates on Zillow and websites alike.

Quote from @Duarte Marques: Thanks for the fast reply @Chris SeveneyAny tips on how to start investing in real estate?

If timing permits you can get a tenant into your home that you'd be leaving.If you are going to move into the new home you have a lot of options for better rates and lower down payments.Matt HowardNorthpointe Bank616.552.5730https://www.northpointe.com/home-lending/get-started/matt-ho...https://www.zillow.com/lender-profile/matt%20howard/
