@Enrique Toledo  If the seller is firm at 10% down, you can always get a personal loan for that 10%. 

Personally when buying rentals I tend to buy in neighborhoods that I feel like I wouldn't personally mind living in and when I look for tenants I try to look for people that not only pass my screening but also I personally don't dislike.  

Personally I would pass but if you go forward I would do a lot of research on the group you are renting to and get a very large security deposit to cover damage. 

Congratulations on the duplex -My investor clients have acquired several multi-family investment properties locally in the market I operate in Northwest Indiana - Figure out your personal investment objective for the next 4 years and align yourself with the next property that make sense in this current market environment-

@Ryan WasherHey everyone, I'd be interested in attending an in-person or virtual meet up also.

They paid their portion of the rent.I have found a lot of investors bring their personal or political feelings into the investing conversation. 

Personally I wouldn't feel comfortable trying to wholesale a relatives $1M home knowing that I am breaking the law if I cross over into doing anything that can be considered representing them in the transaction, and knowing it will only be marketed to people who buy properties wholesale (typically investors who don't want to pay retail prices), instead of the majority of retail buyers active in the market who are typcially willing to pay more. 

The northland MAREI meeting and the main monthly meeting at MAREI have a minimal fee, or for $99 a year you can attend all of them for no extra charge - northland is in person, the main meeting is still online, both are great ways to connect and learn. 

Good morning @Cosmo DePintoHuntsville is an exceptional market where I’ve personally seen investors’ portfolios thrive.

This person did not raise any money, they invested around $600,000 into the offering and because they were one of the larger investors were considered a Co-GP because it was a new sponsor and they needed this persons $.
