Hello and Welcome to the wonderful world of BP, Regina.You need to get to reading the blogs, listening to the podcasts, attend some REIA meetings(in your local housing market) and remain in student mode for a good while before you hit the pavements to make any offers...

Distance yourself emotionally from the houses - they are just wood, steel, OSB, concrete blocks, wiring, plumbing, and asphalt shingles.From my point of view, I prefer to buy a vacant house.

Updated in 2007 with new stucco and paint, new roof and asphalt. 

I'm just wondering if MF investing is a network that you can just enter into once you have enough money or is it like SF investing where you have to work and pound the pavement trying to find a good deal that will work for a rental.Let me explain why it seems to me that MF is a network.  

Hence the specific standards on the pavement and typical 8" street water line.

., if you are using asphalt shingles, they typically come with lots of variation in the actual shingle.

In 2013 I spent two weeks in Georgia with my RE agent daily pounding the pavement and looking at scores of houses in various neighborhoods.Between June 2013 and December 2013, I purchased 5 properties, made six trips to Atlanta.

You have to pound the pavement, knock on doors, send out postcards, hold open houses for other agents under your broker until you start making money.  

It is truly a blessing to have literally pound the pavement Door-knocking, of over 40 to 50 properties.
