Looking primarily at getting a piece of property with 3 or 4 units.

It will just make since, if you buy into it with 30% equity because you bought at a discount and the arv is pretty high on top of that, a person with the means would be crazy not to want a piece of the pie.You can't predict the future, but in this business you can come close.

Know/experienced a little (medium-risk) Finally, work on these pieces so you are able and willing to take action.All human endeavors are accomplished with...Definite plans (a clear plan from here to there) + Faith (knowing you can) + Emotion (feeling you can) + Action (taking action) = Achievement of anything

I encourage you to stay involved in the community and see where BP will lead you.Real estate is a rewarding journey if you can put all the pieces together.  

There are quite a few properties for sale in the region at various price points.Also my next suggestion would be to start to figure out the financing piece of the puzzle.

We had all the RIGHT puzzle pieces sitting in our laps (great realtor, carpenters, and mortgage broker as close friends and family) so we just had to simply put them together (with a lot of hard work and having a family of 4 living in one room at a time for a couple years.)We are now moving to Roslyn, WA and hope to start a similar (although not as extensive) project there and also try to acquire some SFHs in Kittitas County to start our REI education/climb to billions. :) This feels like bragging, but it was a lot of market luck, hard work, amazing friends, and a wife with an eye for staging.

I am looking at several pieces.

At the same time, I think the relative rarity of duplexes/triplexes/quads could be a competitive advantage distinct from the hundred of competing offerings in north Dallas.

I would think that replacing the hardwood is easier and cheaper when you factor in all the time to remove the wood, sand/treat the wood, and the fact that you have to save each piece and remember where it went. 

If so, what information served to be the best piece of information; Phone Numbers, new addresses, emails, social media account info, etc.
