Purchase price: $204,000 Cash invested: $30,000 This deal was an almost brand new construction in an up and coming area on the outskirts of Houston, TX.

if a brand new investor is working with a private money lender, it's almost like one party is taking advantage of the other (not saying it's intentional)

We have a few brand new construction projects in Florida.

For multifamily investments, using the LLC name is typically sufficient for legal and banking purposes, as advised by your CPA and banker.A DBA may be useful if you want a separate brand or manage multiple properties under different names, but it’s not required for most investors.

I’m sorry I’m brand new to everything what actually is Fannie Mae?

To put it into terms; I was asked to come a chair a agent training at a big-brand brokerage (KW) which was about REI.

If you plan on building a brand or having more rentals, than 100% but if only planning this one it isn't fully necessary. 

STR I would highly recommend not to focus on as first investment: also there, my partner is a superhost and we have been managing Airbnb for years and the last year has been pretty funky: people tend to book last minute and you risk to be cash flow negative starting brand new.

Quote from @Natalie Johnstone: Hi All - I'm brand new and have a goal to buy a property by EOY. 

So I sent an offer in a condo that was priced for a great price great location all the appliance and bathrooms are brand new..
