I've read numerous books and all of Brandon Turners books...this guy has inspired me so much which is why I am here!

Soon I would like to take the plunge.My girlfriend and I are not married and do not have any properties yet.In the next 5 years, both will become a reality though.I envision us buying a property or two before marriage, and then buying many many properties as a married couple.Any advice on how to make sure we each are rewarded appropriately for our business efforts?

@Joe Threats You're assuming a lot of risk by going with a HML...and you're going to get killed on points/interest...my personal opinion is that it doesn't make sense unless you are entering a huge equity position from get go...risk may bring reward.

I like that condo complexes have numerous owners that can act as babysitters for tenants, at least that has been my experience in past condos I’ve owned.

I've seen numerous posts on which City, State, Area, Region, etc. is best to invest in.

I guess as with everything it's all a balance of risk and reward...

or would you be willing to take on more risk for more potential reward?

No one knows but assuming you have numerous units, not just a single SFH, positive cash flow and reserves being leveraged or not is relatively unimportant.

Your choice would be to earn $750 per month in income and hoard th ecash in yur property praying the markets do not turn or sell and reinvest to earn potentially $2900 per month.Probably the same risk with more than 3X the reward.

Life rewards those who take risks- educated risks!
