Hope some of this insight could help with your decision if you decide to take the leap! 

You would need to some your research and decide which route suits you best. 

I decided to buy the property from my grandfather using a gift of equity, which allowed me to take over ownership without having to come up with the full down payment and pay for the tax lien and his closing costs.

I'm currently renting and when  decided I wanted to focus on real estate investing, I decided not to buy in Tampa because of the low MF inventory and in home house hacking is not for me.

First thing is to decide if you want to flip or buy/hold.

Since selling wasn’t working out, we decided to rent it out.

I've decided that finding "deals" in Arizona is unnecessary as there are other markets that one need not search high and low to find something that can produce a decent cash-on-cash return.

While it is a super nice home and seems like a great price to many of us, if you decide to sell, what is your pool of buyers? 

From there, you have to decide whether you want to be a landlord or hire a property manager.

To support my seller and seize a valuable opportunity, my business partner and I decided to purchase the property ourselves.
