Purchase price: $140,000 Cash invested: $24,000 Sale price: $220,000 I knew from the start that I was going to buy this property.

Then I'd start by saving up, so you can buy your own house and rent out rooms in the house (or buy a place with a suite).Talk to your parents about what their goals are with the properties, what they like and what they don't like.

Try to buy “blocks of time” in advance?

I am looking into buying a duplex in Hyatt Park and wanted to get some advice on what contractors/suppliers I could contact that have investor friendly pricing for kitchen cabinets, countertops, and bathroom vanities.

What are your long term goals (eg do you want to buy another house) and do you have a large savings set aside for unexpected expenses? 

We don't buy in warzones and we explicitly verify that the PM is experienced with Class C/D properties and tenants and Sec8.  

You will be waiting a long time - that as mentioned was a black swan event just like when they went to like 18%.Historically speaking expect rates to be between 5-8%. my recommendation to anyone buying real estate today is if you buy, expect to hold it for atleast 5 years 

They are holding the proceeds from my sale and I am planning to buy a couple of DSTs shortly.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

Along the deal analysis I am looking to buy and use Deal Machine.Sounds like a great plan!
