With consistent rental income and a strong potential for future appreciation, this property offers a reliable addition to any portfolio.

My husband and I got started with a duplex, and since then, we’ve purchased a 5-unit and a 10-unit commercial property—without much experience or a mentor.

It requires guts and determination and dedication and a lot of time. 

He said the borrower called and a tree fell on the roof and needed to file an insurance claim so wanted to file it against our insurance.2.

Columbus is going to be the best option for a market that's seeing a lot of economic growth with heavy appreciation and a little cash-flow in certain areas. 

I would add that you can go a long way just having some clean color schemes (two wall colors and one trim color will do almost any house) and a few tasteful accent pieces. 

@Tom Stevensonyes, when I BRRRR I typically use my own cash for the down payment, and a hard money loan for the balance. 

I have talked to a builder and a home of this size (without land purchase) can be put in place with as little as $250.000. 

It takes actual thought and a programmer's mind to be able to build a CRM into something that's actually effective (sure a basic person could setup a phased text message or email automation, but it's tying everything together with opportunities, automated campaign re-entry/follow-up, social media integrations/automations, etc that is the real value).

Definitely start with local meet-ups and as you go along you will find people and maybe companies that align with your vision and goals.
