We haven't purchased deals by BP standards, but we've thoroughly enjoyed the homes we've lived in and the neighborhood we're in now. 

I enjoy owning apartments in South Bend, but as @Aaron Linden stated, there just isn't much inventory.

I also have a B.A. in Economics, but chose teaching due to the enjoyment I get out of it.

To my point, there have been some recent satirical threads that have capitalized on seemingly ridiculous posts (which I have thoroughly enjoyed as well).

Enjoying the friendly discussions.

Thanks in advance to any who reply and enjoy your summer!  

Enjoy and Thank You.Mission Statement: I'm 30 years old and have been Active-Duty Military for the last 11 years.

Hope to share my journey with BP and enjoy all your journeys too!

I'm completely open to the idea of having a location in an "up and coming" neighborhood, but at the same time want to be in an area that I'll enjoy living in on the weekends that's fairly walkable and will be able to commute to work (west suburbs) fairly easily.I've met many people whom have stated multi-units were the way to their success.

Others will say to pay it off as quickly as possible and use the cash flow to start saving for your next property that way it's really hard for things to go south on you.If your multi-unit is residential I would recommend trying to secure a bank loan since you can get them at a low interest rate for 30 years and then enjoy the cash flow and start looking at other investments.
