I've kind of been an island this past year in terms of market research and I'd love to start comparing data with fellow investors.

However I soon realized, though I kind of always knew, I do not want to do physical labor for the rest of my life.

Look forward to learning more and to contribute to this awesome community.Thanks,RomelHi Romel, pleased to meet you.Decide which kind of investor you want to be (SFR, Commercial, Land, Tax Liens, Passive, HML, Multi-Family, Notes, Fix & Flip, Buy & Hold, “Subject To”, apartments, duplexes, assisted living, REOs, Foreclosures, Short Sales), etc.

In the end, isn't that kind of like buying something just because it's on a 2 for one sale, that you wouldn't have bought in the first place. 

What kind of financing will you get to acquire and rehab the property?

And, one day, God willing, I'd like to repay the kindness shown the the knowledge learned by sharing and teaching others how to be as free as I will be.

This would be our first investment of this kind and we are completely new to the domain.

@Julia Cucinella, That's just the kind of responsiveness you'd want for sure. 

I find it best to have a sample deal on paper so they can see what kind of product you're looking at.

This is for conventional, conforming loan. the kind that gives you 30 years fixed rate, in this case buying a triplex. this will be applicable to 2-4 units clarified residential.
