Would be happy to assist with your search and eventual purchase! 

Me and my fiancé are wanting to try and purchase new construction homes in class A to B neighborhoods (275-350K) and put 20-25% downs and live in them for 1-2 years while we save another down payment and then eventually move on and make it a rental.We are not looking to scale rapidly.

Very recently I had a call like this with another builder, and when I eventually brought up the lot he owns that I was looking at he very graciously told me all about his plans to build there, and I listened intently and congratulated him on his plans, and then he said "you know what?

I purchased knowing that this would eventually be something I wanted to rent out.

Now I know a lot of people will say test prices which I plan on doing eventually but at the moment I am being aggressive on the remodeling / re investing side and since high season is only a few months a year in my area I dont want to miss out on revenue when I do not have to. 

In hindsight, not continuing to purchase turned out to be very narrow minded.This year, after listening to some podcast episodes, and a presentation at a real estate meet up, I decided I had to reengage, and eventually pulled the trigger on the following deal.Property Details:Location: 13537 Cedar Rd., University Heights, Ohio (Cleveland Metro)Neighborhood Rating: A-Purchase Price: $153KRepairs: $65K (completion expected by May 1)Expected Total Investment: Approx. $225KProperty Features:First floor: 2 bed/1 bath, potential rent $1,200Second & third floor: 4 bed/2 bath, potential rent $1,500Separate utilities and heating/central AC systemsInitially, I projected over an 8% cash-on-cash return.

I would like to somehow (hopefully), find a mentor to help guide me so I eventually partake in my first real estate investment whether it be wholesaling or owner-occupied property.

Eventually, i would like to be a real estate investor; whether it's renting out a single-family dwelling, duplex, etc.. 

These new rules WILL probably eventually eliminate NAR and local boards as there will no longer be any point in joining them.

What if rates eventually go down?
