@Brady Bitter since  you are buying new construction what makes you think you are getting 25% equity.

Quote from @Jaycee Greene: Quote from @Jeffrey Eschbach: Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

Jeffrey:I'm connected to a large group in Indy that focuses on buy & hold SF and apartment (commercial) residential real estate. 

Thanks so much for posting all this info I had been looking at Apke Land or Land Investing Online, while they give lots of free information if you really want in depth or access to their letters you have to buy their course.

I am a huge proponent of buying and holding.

@Tove Fox hope you find this copy & paste useful:)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I never buy into these just watch and learn that is it.

Hii I am a first time investor trying to understand if Austin is a good market to buy a SFH and rent.

Knowing my situation, if my wife and I were doing something like this, I'd be OK with buying something sooner and cheaper, but my wife would prefer to wait a little longer to save more to buy something nicer.

- The market is in a little bit of a lull right now (buyers market), its a great time to buy, but slower time to sell (my primary business is flipping houses) I can supplement my flipping business by providing project management services/consulting, helping investors find discounted properties, etc. etc.
