Hi,Newbie investor here seeking to buy my first duplex which happens to be my childhood home out-of-state.

I'm an occupational therapy assistant from Laurel, MD.

I'm a full time occupational therapy assistant but i've really been itching to get more serious about real estate for awhile now.

Hi Everyone, I'm very new to all of this and need a little bit of advice.I am currently working with a real estate agent that I know personally, I will be her first multi family purchase shes new to real estate but has a mentor at her company that has been doing it for decades and provides a lot of assistance though she isn't available very often so we are sometimes on our own and learning as we go.I have been renting the same place for the past 10 years and the owner is selling so now I have to find another place to live, instead of renting for over 1k/month I decided to purchase a multi family, at first I was looking for duplexes but then came across a 3 unit the asking price is 180k, it is two 3 bedrooms and one 2 bedroom, it has a 2 car attached garage, washer & dryer hookups in each unit, newer heating systems tenants pay all their own utilities except sewer and water which is roughly 2k per year the house also has 3 seperate large storage areas above the garage, and it also has a decent sized back yard. 2 tenants have been there for over a decade in the 3 bedroom units and 1 tenant has been in the 2 bedroom for about 6 months.

Offer to assist a contractor if they're cool and do all the gross work for 'em like tearing down plaster or carrying sheetrock.  

If this were a single mom with four kids but there are nine people living there, that's a major violation and she would lose her assistance.

I will definitely seek a lawyer.

I especially am looking for someone who understands SDIRAs and can assist with the year end reports.

Seeking advice on financing and a pinch to make sure I'm not dreaming.Thanks,Todd

THEY make WAY more $ than we do, so they keep coming back.Is this what you are seeking?
