I did all of my loans with small local banks in my area and was always happy with the rates and service.

Quote from @NA LudkeyLudkey: My spouse and I are looking to purchase our first investment property - a duplex.

My wife's grandmother passed away two years ago, and we still have her house in San Gabriel, CA.

I would mention to Tenant B that I was visiting Tenant A and smelled what seemed like marijuana smoke coming from their side and remind them there is no smoking permitted inside the house.

that OR consider buying a property you could short-term rent to people who literally just want to visit the casino if it's a large/decent one. 

While I’d love to invest locally, most properties here are beyond my price range.Right now, I’m compiling a list of potential properties, underwriting deals, and reaching out to Realtors.

Definitely something I will keep in mind for my first property. 

The dumbest thing I’ve ever done was paying off my first two rentals and trying to pay off my primary.

•If I do use it, how does that impact my ability to qualify for another loan this year?

To whom this may concern, I am an investor looking to buy my second property.
