Many times I have been in the home they choose 3-4 times for previous sales years ago, so can tell them all about updates, etc.I think many people are getting ready to have a rude awakening in the coming year or two and when people get burned with no representation or loose a lot of money.

Hey BP family,I am new to real estate investing but would love some experts insights so I don't get burned on my first dealThis is the property: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/724-N-22nd-Ave-Bozeman-MT...My thoughts are my wife, 8 month old and I could live in Unit A for a year or two while we rent out Units B & C to help cover the mortgage payments until we build/buy a more desirable family ranch home with min 10+ acres which we've been looking for but have yet to find.My hesitation is I've never been a landlord and am reluctant to get in over my head with property problems while simultaneously growing an online business and being a new father.After some negotiation we counter offered 895k with a 2-1 rate buy down for 20k and the sellers have verbally accepted but since our offer expired we need to resubmit.
