We have had success buying in the winter, but this time it feels different. 

Personally, I bought a 3 bed single family home soon after starting my job and had two friends from college rent which covered my mortgage plus a little extra.

I just feel like everything that I am looking at has to be a high effort strategy or an equity/value add play.

We purchased it off market, as-is, and as it was our personal home, we renovated over time.

It’s usually best to open a separate business checking account so your rental income and expenses stay organized and away from personal funds.

I have two phones, one for business and one for personal.

Apparently, the person I am under contract with was managing the estate of the actual owner who recently died.  

The owner was motivated due to personal circumstances and wanted to avoid the hassle of listing the property publicly.To negotiate the deal, I started by understanding the seller’s priorities.

That person will be able to tell you what you can do and following that plan will give you peace of mind about your further investing strategy.
