Hello BP community.After getting married, first home (townhouse) into second home (SFH) and job stability I am finally ready to acquire my first rental property!

All my carpet jobs have been small and either wouldn't have qualified for the specials or hd couldn't get me scheduled fast enough, so I haven't actually used them to know if this is true.

(this is the only thing we need to negotiate - EQUITY)I will send the seller a contract of sale (and a copy to you) - I always use my "Skinny Contract Offer" at a price we both agreed to -  Your job will be to get comps - look at the property - make an inspection and determine that the offer I make is at a price where we can make a reasonable equity profit.

If you feel that the exterior even needs painting, Joe the Painter (assuming he has previous experience) can bid on that job along with other painters.  

The inventory is very low for multi-family in my market but rents are good and in high demand with a quality, stable job base here in our rural community.I have an opportunity to purchase a multi-family property from a gentleman who wants out of the business.  

I am willing to do JV's and work for free for more experienced investors in exchange for on the job training.

Everything about them is fine: education and job.  

It is a job. not an investment.  

I am currently in Houston and looking for job in sales, or real estate.

The realtor did a great job and the owner gave me a rehab estimate within 2 days of the offer being accepted.
