I sure learned a valuable lesson with Safeguard. 

Use a buyer's agent that knows the market, contracts, negotiations, etc.If you really want to learn about investing, get a job in property management. 

Is your DSCR ratio greater than 1-meaning are you cash flowing (according to the lender's criteria of mortgage, property taxes and insurance (and HOA) if applicable).

Preferably low or no money down as best seller would be one only interested in the monthly incomeI then sell said first property and take that cash to buy the investment I am really wanting and I get the terms I want.only thing I don’t know about yet is, how to dodge the tax on the sale of the initial property?

I found it fairly easy to learn and setup as you scale employees. 

You might find someone in your network who’s ready to sell a property, or someone who has advice specific to your market.Real estate investing is a journey of learning and growth.

(I REALLY can’t stand state income taxes.  

Now, if you want me to show you and teach you, ask the right questions and I will happily do so here in public for free so everyone can learn from this.Lastly, 1) I am not selling SEO services in the free forums.

You have to learn what you are willing to accept as not perfect, but good enough.
