Thanks for the words of encouragement!

We have NEVER purchased a home in our life, but because of the awesome advice and encouragement we find on the Bigger Pockets Podcast, we are excited to say that we are very focus on putting together the funding to purchase a duplex that needs a little TLC in the Metroplex.

I don’t have a pro membership so I need to be careful with my advice but I have a few things that might be encouraging.

I would encourage you to keep pursuing it in the way you are, the market it tough and good multifamily deals are hard to come by right now.

I try to bring a list of off-market properties and encourage others to do the same.  

The deceased owner's interest in the property simply evaporates and cannot be inherited by his or her heirs.

I would encourage you to compare all the groups, then go with REI for peace of mind. 

Thank you for your encourage and advice, David.

I would encourage you to look for a mentor your area and see what you could do to add value to him somehow learn more about investing your market successfully.

In orlando right now, hard to find a cap rate above 8%, so I usually encourage people to look at the cap 5+ especially if they are in a c+area or an area that is headed towards gentrification.
