I was even contemplating a multifamily in NJ or Staten Island. 

I've contemplated having a partner and have a few people in mind that I could use.

@Cody Campbell @Dan Nedvidek @Bryan DruryHey guys, I'm from middle TN but am contemplating expanding towards Bowling Green - specifically in for small apartments (4-16 units).

We have contemplated similar scenarios for vacation/str.

@Brian SmithI can't tell for sure if you're contemplating doing your first deal or if you've already done it - but the challenge of financing and the 'time lag' was something real that we've dealt with. 

I was contemplating this approach because I am very familiar with the rental property area as many of my friends have lived there and I visited that area many times since I graduated (I still live in that city).I understand it's difficult to analyze a situation given limited info but is there any obvious downside you see in my approach (e.g. need to take out two mortgages?)

So I've been contemplating getting my license in Texas.

This will allow us time to build a history with our LLC and have a solid foundation to jump into larger commercial deals.Questions:I am still contemplating the best term structure for my parents loan. 

As a compromise, I'm contemplating a refi as well, but instead to use the lower rate to pull $ out of my primary to invest. 

Hello All,I am new to BP as I have just started contemplating the idea of real estate investing.
