I would like to one day get into rehabs and flips, when we have a few rentals under our belt.We had a goal to buy our first rental by next year however we are currently working on a possible seller finance deal which is a condo and happening a lot sooner than initially planned.

I encourage you to get into the game sooner rather than later. 

The complex is also very family friendly (pools, spas, gym, putting green, rec room, gated security and parking...).

(We left the toilet in place for as long as possible and showered at the gym.)Personally, I think you should contribute as much as possible to your 401k, but I'm sure there are others on here who would disagree.Good luck!

Al least we limited our loss by getting them out sooner!

Hopefully you learn sooner rather than later, but to keep making money you'll either defer maintenance and become a slum lord, or you'll notice all your profits going into Capex. 15 years later you'll wonder why you were spending 40+ hours doing this 

Now a question for y'all would be who to look out for and if you have preferred realtors, lenders, and GC's.Sonya my apology for not getting back sooner.

Good point, the sooner the better; I'll take your advice.

@Erika Hexter,@Dan Mackin is a great person to know and he's at the Erie meetup which is less crowded and sooner - June 15 at 6PM at The Old Mine, 500 Briggs St., Erie.

I have to just take the leap of faith sooner or later.
