Buy a small home that has 3 beds and baths.

Lady posting is the true owner of a 1969 mobile home 2 bd 1 bath, 684 square super close, not on, Lake Lanier. 

I spent a total of $500 to do my kitchen cabinets into bed bath cabinets.

Baths per bedroom?

You'll have some street cred that way and also get familiar with the numbers, reporting, distributions, pro forma vs actual results, capital stacks and communication....what you like and what you don't like.   

Hi Folks, thinking of investing just south of Highland Park Historic District but north of Black street, the property cashflows but just.

Purchase price: $151,000 Cash invested: $60,000 Last year I bought my first investment property, a duplex with 2 bed/ 1 bath in each unit.

One was the home address that I initially entered, two were duplicates of an employer's address from about 20 years ago, one was an old Mailbox Etc address that I had about 20 years ago, one was an out-of-state address from about 35 years ago, and there was a duplicate of that address with an incorrect zip code and street name suffix, and the last one was an apartment that I lived in when I was in college a long time ago.

We do plan to remodel a bath which would not be possible with a tenant living there.  

I managed a budies house in a strict HOA and he was continuously being sent bills for fines from things like parking on street or leaving trash cans on the street after trash day.I personally will never buy an investment property where there is an HOA.
