Previous foundation repairs: if they repaired it once, expect to repair it again when *you* own itWonky floor plans: strange angles or room designs that disallow basic things like couch placement or hanging a televisionFlood plain: its not the cost of the insurance, but the inability to find contractors or help AFTER the flood

I am not pitching my services (although a lot of you confuse giving plain and simple value for no other reason than giving value, with pitching a sale's pitch).I simply give advice, guide people, teach and help.

We’re just sick of it!

I have a couple of town homes and my current tenants say that they were sick of having people living above and below them and wanted more space.I'm not very concerned but we will see what the future holds.

I'll try not to sound to naïve or just plain ignorant, though I know in starting out that I am needing much info and help.I have identified Buy and Hold as the area I am wanting to specialize in to start.My current goal is to find and buy either:A) A single family house (I will live in it for 1 yr, then use it as a rental, orB) Find a duplex, live in 1 (for 1 yr) and rent the other, then rent both sides.I eventually want to get into a 4-plex and grow from there.Any thoughts, ideas and opinions are greatly appreciated.I have just done the pre-qualification and am now looking for info on finding a good Real Estate Agent that specializes in working with investors.

I think my family & people close to me stock me.They hide in plain view...LOLI would go anywhere if the opportunity looks good.
