As far as this investment goes, for me this was a happy medium between acquiring an investment property I wanted and something my significant other would be happy with for our family and newborn.

Do you know of a good agent for acquiring properties? 

What did you do acquire your properties?

I went to the planning and zoning meeting last night and breathed a little fire, but these sorts of things make acquiring short term rentals very risky.  

Point is, how much would I realistically need to save up to acquire my first rental property?

We are working on acquiring our first property soon.We want to form an LLC for our rental property in works in AL.

Also, I'm an investor and self-learning real estate agent who has acquired his knowledge from real life situations, books and courses.

Are trusts able to hold mortgages like an individual or would we have to acquire a traditional commercial mortgage?

That's itIf I could go back I would have spent a little more time focusing my capital on acquiring smaller multi family and understanding the power of a 1031 exchange.

It depends on what type of property you're trying to acquire
