Hi all, I’m a bit of a novice and these forums have been fantastic.

Thank you for helping a novice, want-to-be investor!

But just by virtue of taking on more risk by investing in a single property (and as a novice!)

The market is flooded with novice investors right now, and it's also flooded with product.

That might be a red flag that this property is even available through an agent.I guess that's my novice naivete, thinking $100/door + cash flow after mortgage, taxes, insurance, 8-10% PM, 10% capex and 10% maintenance, is a good investment.  

I'm definitely a novice in regard to landlording, efficient property management and the legal aspects of RE.

Hello,I am a novice trying to buy my first multi-family property.

I'm a novice to this and would like to possible purchase 2 rental properties this year by the summer.

Much better, in my experience, to find a property that is already zoned correctly and laid out correctly for your intended use - the exception being if you can get a property very cheaply that needs a gut rehab, but this is generally not a good strategy for the novice investor.Philadelphia does have a lot of good deals for existing multi-family properties, in all price ranges, so it is a great city to look for investment real estate.

@Dion DePaoli - Question I want to confirm as I am a novice looking at investing in notes.
