I bought a course, but you can do it without buying one.

And I know you'll figure out how to buy that next property.Gino

Don’t the closing costs from buying and selling an investment property eat up all the appreciation (and mortgage principal paydown)?

Crosby as well (from what I have read).Prices are still quite high so you have to buy right and in the right area in order to stay profitable.

I personally started by buying a cheap crappy duplex.

So I asked myself, in todays market is it better to fix & flip or buy & hold?

Yes you can buy properties extremely cheap there but the flipside is that once yoI've rehabbed them, recouping your rehab and purchase money will prove difficult because of the low property values .  

I may be interested in JV'ing on a couple deals depending on what your buy box is and depending on if you plan on being the end buyer or simply wholesaling deals.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

Then have a buy-out or refinance option after a certain amount of time.
