We are also working on rehabbing the mother in law suite which didn't have much done.

I'm a nurse and my wife works in the hotel industry.

My mother and I are approved for an fha loan and have money for a down payment.

@Ben EinspahrHi Ben, I can personally vouch for both @Chris Lopez and @Charles Roberts since I used them as my realtors on my last deal, both guys helped me find a terrific house hack single family house with a mother in law suite that has a separate entrance, bedrooms, bathroom, and even kitchen with plenty of space to add more bedrooms over in Northglenn.  

My mother was always in charge of accounting, inventory management, administrative issues, financial decisions, etc. 

I've never had an issue with trust but NOW, my trust level has gone from "Oh, that's my guy" to "what's your SSN, do you have any warrants and where does your mother live".  

A popular market to target is traveling nurses and doctors for example.

For what it's worth my cousin and his wife rent a home there with their child, work as nurses and seem to like it.Anyway I'm a newbie at REI so take my thoughts for what you will. 

I have construction/maintenance experience as well as some limited marketing and rental experience, so I believe a small multifamily unit would be a perfect fit for me as a beginning investor.I like to work on property, and just finished installing large-format tile in the laundry room and kitchen at my mother's rental - so am not at all daunted by a multi-fixer (to a point).

Get in the game or you'll be in the nursing home wishing you had!
