@Guido Sanchez Thanks yeah I'm aiming to start small, kick the ball and let it start to roll, rather than commit big money to my first shot, I drove by the neighborhood today and fortunately I met with an agent who is honest enough to warn me about the neighborhood around the property I'm looking at, definitely worth talking to locals!

We went to a Fortune Builders workshop for 3 days and they wanted us to spend $35-$50K to get their training...I thought that was a bit steep!

the closer you are to urban/industrial centers the better for longevity but ultimately youll want to look for gentrified neighborhoods in areas with YoY positive population growth and stable work from fortune 500 companies. but 150-200 net is not bad.. if you dont feel like you need to carry a gun every time you collect rent :)

That being said, we just installed a thermostat that limits the heat to 72 F on the top end because it was like Hawaii when we came up to work on the vacant unit and its costing us a fortune. 

Fortunately you will find a lot of like minded people here on BP

Fortunately for me it's right in every way when it comes to placing the best interests of my business ahead of all else.

I have been fortunate enough to move to Austin in the past year and have been passively looking for duplex opportunities in the area.

😜😜😜😜 Fortunately we somehow survived and sold it for a small profit!

I told the listing agent to contact me if it fell through and fortunately, it did!

I actually went one step farther and spent a small fortune on a Kiyosaki seminar back in 2004.
