Seeing a lot of new construction rental buildings hitting the market in Bronzeville and the west side, seems to be CMU brick around the sides. 

They offer weekly training sessions on everything from investing and construction to vendor management, cash management, market analysis, and home underwriting.

@Virginia Frost What market/city are you targeting?

Now a-lot of times you buy a home from someone with seller financing and they hold the note for 6 months to season it and then sell the note to another investor or a firm and then it will most likely show up on your credit because these are more sophisticated investors.In regards to the benefits of owner financing you won't have to pay closing costs to a bank.

I joined various internet marketing programs and mentorships to find ways to transition from my W2 job.

I realizing the duplex conversion strategy is more complex I probably wouldn't try it on my first property, just want to get a sense of what's possible in the Chattanooga market :) Thanks!

You can also start by being a "bird dog" and finding off market deals.

A few other houses (all single family houses) on the same street are on the market for rental and they (including my house) all get grouped and nestled under one cover listing as “units” of an apartment complex.

We bought a 55-unit last year in the same market, a market we've been investing in for seven years.How we found itOur property manager brought us this opportunity (and the three previous as well).

Thanks all I never buy a property based on it being tax benefits.
