I've been using RentRedi for a couple years and it's been great. 

Something will likely come up within the first couple of years.All the best!

With 700+ credit you should be able to get mid to high 6s if you pay a couple points and do a 5 year pre payment penalty.

I justified going to the 10X Growth Con in 2017 and a couple local investor seminars.

There have been some great posts about this very topic.Here are a couple of helpful articles: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/1171104-the-m...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1159104-overl…House hacking is the best way to get started in my opinion. 

Depending on where you are, you might have a different target renter than I do.I have a couple properties we are looking to develop on, I'll send you a PM

If I house hack and live on the property, I sacrifice living in my own home which has been my main goal over the last couple years. 

Quote from @Caleb Brown: I've noticed the last couple weeks open up on deals.

I spent about 8 hours capping and removing water and sewer lines and putting a couple of doors back in and some plugs in the wood floor and suddenly I had a 3br house.

I would like to buy and hold for 5 years or so and possibly refi to buy another one in a couple years.
