I used to live in Kalamazoo, MI and Grand Rapids is a great area! 

Hi Niecy,I think it the grand scheme of things it is well worth it.Think about what you want in the next few years and from there it will be easier to know if it is right for you :DBest,Ace

Rates are low, you can offset those student loan payments with the income and come out on top. 6-7% seems high because of where we are seeing interest rates now but in the grand scheme of things its still very low.

Unless your getting atleast 2 grand in rent I see no point in going through with this because your numbers are bad .

Currently I am looking for a property in the Grand Rapids, MI area, and when I find one that we both like, I want to be able to pull the trigger.

Multifamily doesn't have to be a grand slam, you can pretty much get there with base hits.good luck

hey teddy....i just did this for a few properties in charlotte, and a 4plex out in dallas off of new hope rd...just over by you..note brokers discount the note pretty heavily i've learned, so it seems that it's better to sell with a balloon so you could cash out after some time..unless you can find buyers in gastonia with great credit, 10-20% down, etc...but that would be tough in that area i think....not sure what part of gastonia you're looking in, but i'm seeing homes there that are listed less than 20 grand in some parts...some even less...what part of gastonia are you looking in??

RobertsLook at places like Coolidge, San Tan Valley, Casa Grande, Queen Creek, and Apache Junction.

I chose to sell the property and maybe made a grand or two over the course of the ordeal.Thinking this was a one-time situation, I'm now running into this again with a duplex in Cleveland.

No grand slams here but a lot of solid singles and doubles.
