The advice of more seasoned landlords would be welcome.

Given that 5+ unit complexes puts you in the commercial real estate realm, you know will be dealing with seasoned investors that rely on the numbers to value property vs. comps.I think by buying turnkey properties, it really limits your ability to find smoking deals.It’s not impossible, but certainly much more difficult.However, you may be able to find a turnkey property that has poor management (unlikely) and force appreciation by improving on that fact without doing much else.

Lots of history combined with new culture create a niche in rehabbing, big federal and state agencies here, large corporate headquarter presence, active entrepreneurs ....and my favorite (as far as living), mild weather with all four seasons:) @Trevor Ewen "jump" into Richmond

Yes, actually many standard banks and financial institutional will not lend on a property that is not seasoned.

(much to my dismay) Do you guys deduct firearm purchase price come tax season?

I talked to a rep from Quickenloans.com and they have a 6 month seasoning period.

I am currently in the process of "seasoning" a property I bought in STL in a "fringe" neighborhood. 

Hello Everyone,I'm looking for some guidance from any seasoned investors, attorneys, lawyers, wholesalers, flippers, buy & hold, or any active forum members.I am trying to find my first investment deal and what to make sure I'm going about things the best way possible and avoid any rookie mistakes.

Hi All,I wanted to see if i could get feedback from any of you more seasoned out of state investors.  

I should be able to get a loan after tax season and buy the property.
