Quote from @Mindy Nicol: Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment in St Augustine.

Now, I’m rebuilding my portfolio while continuing to help others buy and sell homes.

Many times a lender buys a property back at a sheriff's sale/auction where they are selling properties as part of a foreclosure.

If you’re serious about buying properties and doing real estate, then I would suggest working with the CPA that understands real estate even if the services cost more than your average H&R Block or some TurboTax program you can buy.

Are you agent yourself and what makes you say that you'll avoid buying a home under 1000 sqaure feet again? 

I am glad you highlighted the management piece as this is a crucial part of buying in another market.Excited that you are stabilized and are generating cash flow on that deal. 

@John Lasheri agree with you, you'd be surprised at how many people listen to Grant Cardone though, and decide that they're going to go buy a 100 unit with 'OPM' as their first deal and quit their job.i think buying something of that size with a few partners is a perfectly good goal.
