Advice and sage wisdom is greatly appreciated.

I don't know if it's because your blunt or you're just a wise real estate sage, but this is the most beneficial and interesting discussion I've ever heard, especially about equity being basically the same as useless cash until it's able to be mobilized.

I'm not really sure where to begin and would welcome any sage advice.  

@James Ehrig -I use a program called ACT by Sage.

All of that is good advice, but it should be seasoned with this additional sage information: do not ignore the obvious warning signs that you are going in the wrong direction.

I appreciate the banter as well as the sage wisdom and advice i am getting both between the lines and blatant.

@Omni Casey...your offer to help Jonny Flores close on his 1st deal to me is amazing and therapeutic on so many levels.

@Julian Sage is 100% right in that if you want to do it right, think of it more like building a hospitality business. 

Sage advice right here.

I plan on living in one unit for 12 months + 1 day, fixing up any units that are or become vacant, using an FHA loan (PP + rehab) and eventually raising the rents on all units.Any sage advice and wisdom from 4 plex owners [and the like] would be extremely comforting & appreciated!
