Hello Everyone!! I have been educating myself for the last 6 months on Real Estate Investing! I have my eye on this one Duplex In Central Pennsylvania. I’m open to all tips and also any RE Investors Meet-Ups in The Ge...

Quote from @Khyree Randall: I'm about to start working again soon and I'm ready to start investing in getting my first deal.

From my experience investing in mid-tier and luxury hotels much larger is you need about 70% to make ends meet, you start getting happy about the investment about 80% and around 85-90% you fell like you are a genius. 

BUT, the time to START acting is likely now.

Start saving up and buy your first place.

Start by leveraging what you already have—consider tapping into equity through a HELOC, house hacking again with an FHA loan, or increasing cash flow by converting a unit to a short-term rental.

I am not even stating your deceptive post was intentional but with you not owning up to the expenses that were not included, I am starting to question if for some reason you intentionally posted numbers that did not depict all expenses.I want people to post corrections to such erroneous posts with so that newbies do not see similar numbers and think that the referenced property is good cash flow.  

Together, the property nets us roughly $1,400/month after expenses.Equity Split: My partner owns 60%, and I own 40%.I'm exploring ways to take out my equity without disrupting this deal, as I feel this isn't the best financial decision for me right now.
