@Karen KingstonHave they gone through the workshops and have been qualified?

We did a rehab in Cedar Park a few years back and found a ton of counterfeit $100 bills in the workshop in back of the garage.

Once owner passes I'll have first rights to buy property.Property is a home on 4 acres with a nice metal workshop (1300+s qr ft).The rental price to me will be in the $500 a month range, once the lease begins, I can re-lease or do whatever with the property.My intention is to use the shop and update the home so my son and his family can move into the place.

I've ordered the book you recommended and I've also enrolled in Eddie Speed's Free 5 Day Workshop to see how I like the coursework.

Like @Joseph Scorese said, our South Jersey REI is excellent and they constantly have workshops and speakers that you can learn a ton from.

I talk to a lot of people in our Airbnb workshops here in Denver that are relying on their normal homeowners' insurance. 

Education, workshops etc… were key for me.  

@Tina Lee you have received some great advice here I’ll try to add another workshop perspective like many have said no one can really answer that question but you because only you know what you want retirement to look like and what responsibilities you have.

While going to workshops, was told to try for a market rate place instead.

I remember when I worked for a syndicator in the bay area in the mid 80's we would do free how to invest in multi family work shops 2 nights a week.. we would talk about how multi worked how great it was.. and if you wanted any further info fill out our yellow card and we would follow up... this created our relationship then we would go for the appointment and explain all the GP deals we had going and etc.the govment makes it tough in that industry for sure
