Just trying to get started and although there is plenty of information out there, I thought the value was in getting the first deal with them and then learn how to replicate it.

So I'm a fan of buying in the path of progress from here since it's starting to expand outwards into cheaper neighborhoods.

But as you introduce more units, that dynamic starts to change.

The biggest hurdle you'll have to overcome is accepting breakeven or negative cash flow at the start. 

Quote from @Joseph Kirk: Quote from @Taylor Dasch: Its hard when your starting out and havent used the contractor as on their side they are likely wasting their time.

@Andrew Self lack of two years of employment history is not a deal breaker depending on what you were doing prior to starting your salary job.

Once you see this, it is a sign telling you to start to negotiate off that list price (could be 50K right there).2.

Most exchanges start in one state and end in another anyway. 

Melisa Justice, and she helped me navigate the entire Journey, it was a process not too long, it took about a month, and the process would have been definitely very hard being that I was on a different state by Melissa made it a lot smother, she was very responsive to all my questions (and I had a lot of questions), she helped me find a lender that would fit better for my financial situation, once I was pre-approved she connected me with the right property inspectors, and all through out the process she kept in touch pointing me the right direction all the way until closing day, all this to say I Definitely recommend her for any body the is finally ready to take the plunge and get started with their real estate carrier, I definitely will get in touch with her when I'm ready to buy my next property!

I'm excited to get started and have my money work for me  Hey Rowdy!
