I believe if I could get the initial capital to begin buying houses in this area alone, I could create an Empire Of Properties.

Do you "live the dream" and travel/vacation year round, do you focus on building your empire to ever greater heights, or do you pursue some other passion?

@Larry Fried - thanks for the mention ;)Yes my husband and I do the same thing you are describing only intentionally with the goal of building our empire.

hi my name is Barry from the Inland Empire.

Hello,I am potentially a new investor, along with my wife we are looking to learn as much as we can in the real estate business, We are not looking to create an empire at this moment in time but we are eager to learn, learn, learn in order to create base hits and acquire enough cash flow for future investment.

@Don Harris Rock Hill meeting moved and no longer in Rock Hill but there is another group not related to any of the metrolinas or subgroups that meets in FT mill at empire pizza.

Once you have an FHA loan you are not allowed to have another FHA loan unless relocating a great distance for work.Now that you have exhausted your Low Down Payment Options (Portfolio Conventional and FHA Conventional and FHA) you will need to use a Standard Conventional Loan and put 20% down to get your 3rd Duplex.The sky is the limit...you could continue to buy properties and build an empire or just stop there and enjoy more free time...I have friend who quit his job and just manages his properties now.Keep in mind that this 4 step process I outlined takes time (anywhere from 1 to 10yrs depending on the person) so keep the big picture in mind but don't let it stress you out too much.
