Remember to network learn and build a solid team.

Do a solid deal. 

The experience and equity build-up will give you solid ground to use to make the jump to commercial (5+ units) multifamily.

At least in my experience, people get too far down the rabbit hole looking for this home that meets ALL the criteria they want and they end up missing out on solid investments.  

Hi BP,I'm looking for a solid real estate agent to work with in Vallejo, CA.

Job creation, infrastructure advantages, environmental justice, etc.Most definitely with a collaborative TEAM, having a solid business plan, dollars that make sense and a clear vision it would all supersede concerns and set a platform to manifest this idea into a reality.I would be most interested to hear more if you happen upon others who are seriously considering this revitalization of Baltimore neighborhoods as a team effort.

Hello BP,I'm a beginning investor and waiting on my pre-qualification to come through from a lender (should find out on Sunday), and I'm working hard to build a really solid team that I can trust.  

This despite of having excellent credit, solid jobs, and some money saved -- alas not $70k. 

I am struggling with the idea of selling one solid home to buy 2 unknows. 

At this point you're lacking any solid facts and it may not be best going around accusing a property manager of ripping someone off.
