From what I've read and learned so far I feel it's a natural fit for me to move into (hopefully full time eventually) from the auto sales industry.

Make sure the screw driver fits entirely across the screw head slot that you've cut.Good Luck!

The challenge is finding a good fit between the funds, a strong deal and an investor one would like to work with.

@Bryan Dracka , I have never been interested in 1 bedroom houses (there may be nothing wrong with them they just don't fit my portfolio) and I don't know Lincoln Park but it should be fairly easy to determine if there is a demand for this type of housing.

As it will be about a year before I am ready to make any real moves into investing, I'll be taking the time to consider many different investment strategies to see what works best for me.Currently the best fit for my situation seems to be to buy a duplex or triplex, live in one unit while I rent out the others, until I am able to purchase a second property and repeat the process.

Finding properties that fit the 2% rule is a joke and even going with the 1% rule is practically non-existant.

But the paper was only 16lb so I'm not sure if it will fit in the printer.Thanks guys

You also need a mirror or medicine cabinet, faucet, drain, p-trap, supply lines, new shutoff valves and who knows what other fittings.

I have located a property which fits my criteria and I think I can get the owner down from 325k to 300k.One possible issue is that I will be travelling for a month (out of country) starting Sunday.

If you're trying to raise capital before finding a property, put together a document describing a hypothetical property that fits your investment criteria.
