Surely the gurus don't expect a semi-intelligent person to believe these accounts weren't made up merely for such responses. 

I personally would try to purchase something that has 2 or more units (could be a semi-detached/detached with a suite, duplex, etc) which you could potentially also do with less than 20% down if you are going to move into the property and preserve more capital for the next deal (with the caveat that it will hurt your cashflow to some extend). 

Lol any semi-competent handyman can change it within an hour.

but economic growth is going to  zero this Q4, it seems more like semi soft landing. 

Why pay a skilled handyman his labor rate to do wall patches when you can hire a semi-skilled handyman at a MUCH lower rate to do it.

I have found JV partners as well as some private money just by attending these things semi-regularly and getting to know the other local investors.

The part I am stuck at is literally being stuck in a semi.

Hi Bigger Pockets community.  In June my newlywed wife and myself will be moving to Syracuse New York to begin our real estate journey.   The reason we are choosing Syracuse is because my father has 34 successful rent...

Still wants a buy and hold and semi-involved.
