You can lock those in with a variety of owner occupant loan products (FHA, VA, USDA, etc) and reap the cash flow for years to come.Central Arkansas (like many mid west or southeast metro areas) has many neighborhoods that have a very high rental to price ratio.

House hacking is also an awesome strategy in CA because you get to lock in low property tax rates and it is relatively easy to cash out the equity you build in a primary residence and use it to leverage your next property.  

Keep your eyes and ears on high alert w this tenant, I have a feeling your in for a wild ride.

I've been in the Air Force for the past 10 years and I'm hoping to use this as a means to becoming financially independent by the time I retire in another ten years so that I can focus on what makes me happy rather than what pays the bills.I am currently living in the Richmond, VA area, where I own a home that I will be renting out in another year or so when I leave here.If anyone has any advice, I am all ears and I look forward to participating in these forums!

Have them locked under a contract to buy but I'm having difficulty deciding to wholesale or to look for an experienced investor with a great builder to gain some experience in new builds.

Also, regarding your lock box, is this a combo lock box with a key inside?

It sounds crazy but when I'm up there calling numbers and my pit man is in your face and your ear and the other guy is going for it you need to remember what you came to pay and stay with that.Don't try to game it.

Hi my name is Gina Jackson and I'm a new investor in North Carolina I have for several years read and attended seminars on Real Estate Investing I also used up every excuse there is to why I haven't started but no more I'm locked and loaded ready to go if you have any advice for me thanks 

If anyone has any advice for a new investor, especially no money down investing, I'm all ears

Instead of locking up all of my capital in the new commercial property with 20% down, I was thinking about speaking with a lawyer about getting set up with some investors.
