Although it may cost me a bit more  I feel more confortable giving the job to the second  company.

Im thinking of buying this house which will cost me around 80k giving 10% down- this house it’s already not confortable for my family and will have to buy another house in a most 3 years.

If you buy other properties later on there, you can probably do it yourself if you are confortable with all the minutiae of the process.For Florida land trust, I would highly recommend the “Land Trust in Florida” book by Mark Warda that contains everything you need.For other states I haven’t researched specific publications.Mr land trust books and academy are a great general resource on the subject, but I felt that it was lacking some details that may be state specific.

David - glad it worked out  ..not sure if this as mentioned above  ...even with your spouse  off the new loan , she  can still go on the title of the property ( if desired)  ..this is called a NBS  ( non borrowing spouse ) ..often this makes the spouse  more confortable and part of the transaction

Been listening to a lot of podcasts and reading books, learning as much as i can, but i figured i need to really step out of my confort-zone and start doing something now!

I like shorter payoffs, but you must do what you are confortable with, to play a lttle game, sounds like you are looking for a 1% property and your father-in-law wants to see you in a 2% PROPERTY FOR HIS LITTLE GIRL...hmmm

Are you simply not confortable with renovating one unit at a time or do you really just want to do it all over and done?

This will get you confortable in selling people. 

Although as a newbie I think I´d feel more confortable keeping local for now, I am shopping right now so I will mark Columbus on my list as one of the best places to invest.

I like it a lot and I find I am suprised by structure and the help I can get in areas I am not confortable with (mainly accounting).My hopes, then are to, non-aggresively for now, start buying more properties and educate myself that way through hand-ons practice.
