Investment Info:

Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

My first rental property- funded with my own capital. This process was an interesting one, lots of lessons learned and many more to come.

...

There is a lot of garbage advice out there pushing people to take risks with their life savings and friends' money that I find reprehensible.On a side note, over 30 years, I've still had deals where I just sh*t the bed or I overtrusted.

I found a multi near by in same zip for 6 beds, 4 baths listed for $260K.  

I know that one PM I spoke to stated that there is an area in the 53206 area code dubbed the "Triangle of Death" and he nor his staff will go there.  

I own a 1500 ft, 3 bed 2 bath house with 1.8 acres in middle Tennessee, recently remodeled and did some work installing a new filter system for the well, now better than city water.

For future reference, my lease agreement requires Tenant to provide me with at least one "emergency contact" that they authorize to act on their behalf in case of death, incarceration, or incapacitation.

They will give you parameters like number of beds and baths, or square feet, or zoning they want.

i have 12k down arv 150k 5 bed 3 bath on 1/2 ac title ready to close 40k loan needed 

Grooming your bushes or flower beds is also cheap and adds curb appeal.
