So any contacts, known meet ups, or especially advice for an initial purchase is greatly appreciated! 

Remind them of quiet hours, city ordinance, right to quiet enjoyment, etc.

I enjoy hearing about peoples’ personal wins and innovative, creative strategies.  

I’m a first-timer, so bear with me if I sound a little clueless – I’m still figuring it all out.Here’s the scoop: I’m looking to purchase a long-term rental property within the $300-350k budget range.

Since there is a co-owner, you would have to purchase the property and it is really hard (if not impossible) to pull a HELOC as the basis for the purchase (since it is not your primary residence). 

Other considerations are the lost costs to sell and re-purchase other properties.

A couple of months ago, I purchased a property using a hard money loan for $115,000.

Quote from @Olivia Armstrong: Hey all, My husband and I have been searching for a property purchase, one that temporary checks our boxes and also kickstarts our investing journey.

His credit score is fine but his income is showing too low to get the loan, so I though maybe I could use my HELOC to make the purchase and do a Lease to Own.
