The inspection report did not mention many of the expensive repairs I'm facing.For one, one of the units cannot even be rented until I spend at least $10k getting the electric up to code, among other repairs, so its been sitting vacant.

There's so many options but they all do the same thing (more or less).

So there are a few ways to get 'er done.

There is so much free and low-cost information out there.

So I am looking to see if anyone has ideas about what options I should consider to gain more experience in real estate investing as I get my finances up to make my first purchase.  

I don’t know if I should invest in the Jersey market and put maybe 20-50% down on something, make less cash flow and make more appreciation, or every two years or so maybe buy something fully cash (my own $) in the Midwest let’s say 5-10 units and make more cash flow with no debt as with the income I make I can just save and buy more, don’t necessarily need to leverage in some markets.

These agents work for free till they close a deal, so make sure you know that going into it. 

So what happened afterwards?

Hi Min,Thank you so much.

It's been a while since I used it, so may have changed after TransUnion purchased it.
