I have experience as a Residential agent in Denver, CO and as a commercial Leasing Associate in Chicago, IL.I am planning to purchase my first rental home here in the next year or so and make it my primary residence.

Why do you think purchase contracts are so long and have such small print?

I am in the same boat of either 1031 exchange or refi some of my small multi's to purchase a larger complex.

What market was this property in and what was the purchase price?

Quote from @Palak Patel: Hi everyone,I am new to the rental business and just purchased my first rental property.

I just purchased 2 houses and I would like to hear some success stories.

I would highly recommend finding a lender that does 10% of purchase price down because it will ultimately be less expensive for you.

Most propane suppliers will offer a discount if you purchase your own tanks outright, I save around $1.00 per gallon.
