A great way to get started if you currently have a W2 job is to buy a house hack like a duplex or a fourplex where you can move into one of the units and continue to rent/manage the other units.

Your plan to house hack a multifamily property in Indianapolis is a great strategy to start building equity and learning the ropes with manageable risk.

So, they could potentially buy another house later on.

I think if I make this house really cute, I could potentially get $240K ARV.

There is no such absolute rule or mandate for REI - it is up to you on your comfort level with your cash flow versus total investment versus appreciation potential.If I followed that rule, I would have missed out on a LOT of great opportunities over the years.We bought a house in Jones Valley in 2017 with negative cash flow - why? 

We scraped the old house and we build new home, where the houses are selling close to the $1.8M What was the outcome?

Hi All,First time looking into Section 8 investment property in Berwick, ME. What is the experience with this program - Pro/Cons, watch outs, etc?.  Is there $$ to be made as an investor? Thanks in advance

The house was flooded to the tune of $70,000 in repairs.

Quote from @Scott MacComb: I am doing my first true house flip (have remodeled plenty of houses for rental) and am trying to figure out a contract to use with a new general contractor whom I have not worked with previously.
