A duplex is a great way to start because that renter will help with your monthly out of pocket costs and it's a convenient way to get into real estate investing.

We’re more than just a property management company—we’re your trusted real estate partners.I’m originally from Chicago and a big Chicago sports fan (even though the last few years have been rough for us).

Its not as easy but once you are up in running you are building a brand, equity in your business, and also constant flow of leads.

In the real world, its hard if not impossible to get all 4 aspects on a single deal.

Those were really good (Southeastern Wisconsin Real Estate Investor Group on FB if so inclined).  

I'm in Orlando and active in residential real estate as a Realtor® and also serve on the board of CFRI, the local chapter of the National REIA.

Opinions vary widely on this subject, but consider getting a real estate license.

Read the NC general statute on wholesaling and ask frequent questions to the real estate commission.

The policy was $2200/year ($1.1M Bldg coverage and $1M Business liability coverage in this apartment LLC) and I haven't had a single claim in my past 5 year history.

I view real estate investing as another wealth building tool in my tool kit.
