@Bryant Brown I like your enthusiasm!

It's great to see your enthusiasm and commitment to building wealth through real estate investing.Let me know if you'd be interested in the Midwest!

I'm also not sure why you want to 'disprove' someone's 'investment' enthusiasm.

Marco, tis great what you have learned so far, but not to dampen your enthusiasm, there are a lot of areas (as you grow) that you will not be allowed to do some of those repairs yourself because of licensing issues.

Also, make sure to get a copy of the home owners association's paperwork so you know what you can and cannot do regarding your townhouse since you own the walls, but not the common property the townhouse is on.Unfortunately I have listed a bunch of caveats and I don't mean to dampen your enthusiasm, but I would not want this to be my first deal (which it would be if I were in your shoes).

The BP community will weigh in with great enthusiasm, I'm sure.

And don't let this dampen your enthusiasm.

Well, I applaud your drive and enthusiasm!

I hear the same thing from another broker I've been speaking with.Now, our credit union, which accepts mortgage applications for investment properties with the same level of enthusiasm most men demonstrate waiting for a prostate exam, want anywhere from 25-35% down depending on credit score.

@David Thompson  although I like your enthusiasm for your syndications.. its not appropriate for all investors... when those deals tank  ( and they do)  its usually a total wipe out for the investor.and we are at the top of the multi market for sure.I think what a lot of folks like about buying their rental houses or little MFR's is they own them themselves they are not relying on someone else to make it work past the PM or if they self manage and there is greater liquidity.. they can sell when they want not when the syndicator decides to exit.I see syndication being appropriate for those that want to move a very small portion of their cash ..
