Purchase price: $35,600 Cash invested: $57,443 I purchased this property as a starter home to learn about real estate and gain experience to eventually acquire larger investment properties, like apartment buildings or strip malls.

We have 1 in West Gardiner and also acquired a property back in S Gardiner of 39 acres that we will be developing.

Personally i felt that it was a too hands off, and that i would like to get a more involved in my next property.My game plan is to scale and acquire property to hold for a long time. 

My long-term tenants in a a town home have acquired 2 very large pick-up trucks and a sedan since signing a lease last April (it expires 4/30 this year).

Acquiring below market and implementing a value-add improvement plan will result in a portfolio of properties that appreciate over time and that also offer significant tax advantagesPick the right market – not all housing markets were impacted in the same way during the last recession.

I am owner-occupied in a single family home in Mary Esther that I acquired with the VA Loan.
