Hello BP forums, I am very new to this game and i'm in the works of making my first deal ( Im looking for a 3-4 unit multifamily house.) my question is about the payment on your mortgage. should you rely on the tenant's rent in order to pay the mortgage or should you be able to fund the whole thing your self form other sources. 

(E) If you're new to the game and looking to get off the couch and understand how things work, be smart like @Tanner Verhoeks and @Tim Coulter. 

No one appreciates waking up to neighbors yelling at a game...well, within reason, I guess!) 

What's the end-game here?

The hotter the market I look in the worse the customer service tends to be.

A lot of this is speculative of course but make educated guesses and if after all that you still have significant cash flow then start looking at you options for refinancing and see if there are good rates available, and terms available (it is possible your current loan is better than anything you can get now that you have it as a rental and since rates have trended upward)  In the end this is a numbers game. 

It's a residuals game.1,000 people at 300 bucks is 300,000 at one event minus business costs.

Different areas have different customs. 

I can't tell if this was the fault of the company or if the customer didn't uphold their end of the bargain by meeting the weekly time requirements.

I hope this meet up could give investors to ask questions and learn more about an alternative strategy for getting into the real estate game.
