Do yourself a favor: buy "Every Landlord's Legal Guide" by NOLO.

I'm excited about buying my first home as I pursue a duplex here in Houston to launch my real estate journey.

Can you hold on to anything you buy for 2 years before reselling? 

Buy a good asset with a responsible amount of leverage.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment in Tuscaloosa.

There are ton's of facebook groups where investors and buying and selling to one another as well.

I am looking at a few things but recently have looked at Private Lending vs buying into syndication deals.With Private Lending I believe the returns would be better, but the effort would be more (finding the deals, managing the deals, etc).

Unless perhaps you're buying a multi-million $ unique home. 

Happy to help if you are looking to do long term buy and hold and I have another agent with us that could certainly help if you are looking at doing some flipping.

@Nathaniel Dean Morrisonthis question seems to be getting asked multiple times a day in the forums.if you're asking: should you use a HELOC to buy an investment property, because you don't have any actual cash?
