This will leave my current portfolio at 15 units all located in Milwaukee, WI.In no way am I tuting my horn, this is to show new-comers, like me, with the right education and hard work you can achieve good returns in this industry.

Remediation certificate is the only thing that can come really close to anything that will at least give someone comfort in buying.

They are every helpful for new comers like myself in answering any questions.

Thanks a lot for your help to the new comer!

I'm a late comer on this thread. :-)

Another challenge that I see, most obvious among new-comers to BP, is just that folks first coming into REI aren't aware of the options available when it comes to funding deals.

Some of the neighborhoods were obvious and well known (Heights, Memorial, River Oaks), so I'm watching as up and comers (Lindale) and some I hadn't heard of before. http://www.houstoniamag.com/articles/houstons-top-...What do fell Houston investors think of the list? 

Breaking out my cashflow by year, I assume a 3% rental increase per annum, a 3% expenses increase per annum, and appreciation of 1.5% (the area I am looking to invest is a slow up-and comer but still has some very rough areas, but I know the area well). 

I am friends with multiple real estate agents and have a local bank that is great at underwriting for young up and comers.

what would be the moat important 1st step with little to no money?
