I have been looking into buying one of the multi family buildings and putting it back into rental shape and be able to continue and do it over and over to help these neighborhoods not only have great affordable rental opportunities but also to have a brighter future that I can be a part of.

Congrats on the rental.to continued success...

Knowing the ins and outs of the numbers and tax consequences of owning real estate, as well as the realities of rehabbing and the construction industry in general will no doubt set us up to be successful if we continue to work hard towards our goals.So far: We moved out of our personal residence (SFR) in March of this year, and purchased and moved into a duplex on the other side of town.

I wish you continued success!

I can't get va or fha financing due to "continued employment" Any advice?

The talks have continually sparked my interest in the subject and I am wanting to move towards investing.

How do I go about putting this deal together and would section 8 continue to contribute to the new payments?

Will continue to study and ask questions.Again, thank you for your help!

I wish you both continued success and thanks again for the input!

The average rents that I have seen for either a 2 bed or 3 bed row/town house has been anywhere from $900-1200 depending on the cosmetic upgrades and features (i.e. garage, outdoor space, etc).
