So it was 153k for the purchase and 40k for the rehab, I had to come up with the rest. 

I live in Lawrenceville, GA and am beginning my first house hack, working to purchase another property by the end of the year. 

I’ve realized I need additional help—someone local, like an assistant.Here’s my idea: I was thinking of purchasing a small piece of property and putting something modest on it, like a single-wide home or a similar small structure.

If you know where any more notes are that can be acquired for $.20 on the dollar please let me know and I’ll be interested in those that you do not purchase. :-) back in the day and not a big deal flow.. and all land contracts on bare land.. to put it in perspective. :)

Congrats on your first duplex purchase!

Quote from @Alberick Small: I was thinking of purchasing Lee Arnold's Reverse REO Program, I have read all the horror stories and the many that may have been duped over the years.

And what a purchase!

A good sign of an agent is how much business they are doing on the purchase and sale side. 

The more that you talk the more potential buyers see what they are dealing with.Lori you purchased a property that was occupied.

I recently purchased a 2 unit property as owner occupied with one unit already rented out. 3 months after closing, I was laid off due to a restructure at my company, so I decided to rent out the other unit my girlfriend and I planned to live in.
