Pull the trigger on some Zillow advertising, Trulia, etc. and see what works best in your market.

@Stephanie Minor yes, I plan on getting a FHA loan for my first property, I'm looking towards a 4-plex but am hesitant in pulling the trigger due to the extra landlord-y responsibilities that would be involved in maintaining the units and tenants.

Your cash from your flipping entity can be funneled into the rental entity without triggering active income rules.

The first deal is the hardest to pull the trigger on and I wish I could say it is easy after that.

Hi All,Newbie finally getting ready to pull the trigger, I have 40k cash to start out with BUT NO CREDIT + no income, meaning unable to get any conventional/bank loan.

there will be many that live in each state.... turn key generally produce's a few of your trigger items not necessarily all of them though in one house.great houses and tenants usually equates to a smaller NET return... as your return goes up your sacrificing something.Unless of course you go the state your self source your deal do your own rehab and etc then those metrics are not to difficult.

I, like the majority of the folks here on BP, was introduced to and became infatuated with REI after reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki over 10 years ago and unfortunately allowed fear of the unknown to paralyze me from pulling the trigger.

Well, if you are putting them in LLC, which could trigger due on sale, then I would spread them out.  

Hello everyone, I'm pretty new to BiggerPockets.  This is actually my very first post.  I've just been reading forums, researching, reading more forums, researching x10... To get straight to the point, I want to start...

I'd been researching REI for probably close to a year now before I thought I was ready to pull the trigger.
