For example, I too am a full-time employee, but I've yet to pull the trigger - I would like to go multifamily (2-4plex) as a part-time investor, and collect multifamily doors to generate enough capital to eventually scale up to commercial.

My only concern is that I wanna know if any of these neighborhoods should be of concern for an investor before pulling the trigger on one?

I also rented out the house for 15 months prior to construction, so if sale is triggered, it will be cap gains.

I saved up about $30k from working and was ready to pull the trigger on my first investment decision as an adult.  

I have been seriously considering the Orlando and KC markets, and because of your positive experience, I think I'm going to go ahead and pull the trigger!  

Sadly though we never made the NEXT step or pulled the trigger so to speak.

The historical negatives could still be 0 if there was no payment history for past 24 or 48 months, whichever range SmartMove uses, but the status of the tradeline should still trigger a negative I would imagine.  

@Amber Koontz I spent about a year and a half listening to podcasts and reading books on real estate while I saved up, once I finally had enough to pull the trigger I jumped in before the fear of taking on such a big project paralyzed me.  

Now I have taken the next mini step by posting openly for the most part about myself here.Additional things: I believe the reason most people don't pull the trigger including myself is because of the risk and lack of funds to risk.

Look at and evaluate lots of deals until you become so  confident of your market you are ready to pull the trigger when a good one comes along.
