So, if it is more of the 2nd on there...I'm sure that some people might comment to "Do This" or "Do That"...but how do you know if any of them are correct?

Purchase price: $450,000 Purchased property out of foreclosure, had problems with holder over tenant, but has been resolved, will rehab property to rent at FMV What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I'm sure there are people you can hire, but like home inspectors I'm sure none of them will give you any type of guarantee.

Hi Gigi, glad to have you as a part of this awesome community!

Purchase price: $93,750 Cash invested: $70,312 Purchased 2-1/2 acres of raw land with the hope of one day building a home on it.

You can also double hack these if you have enough units and live in one unit and use one unit for your business, but of course that decreases your cash flow but increases your usability.You can also use an FHA loan to get a mixed-use property with only 3.5% down if the residential square footage if more than 50% of the total square footage.

A couple months of vacancy, a soft rental economy, or a major expense could eat up your equity.

The median sale prices for 2-4 unit properties in these counties is $775K.
