Buy places in nice areas because those also tend to weather downturns better. 

The tenant has been a problem from the beginning, such as behind in rent for a year, buys a brand-new Jeep, lies about ex-husbands job, child support, court cases, etc...Now, the house needs a new deck, so I went up to inspect it.

Hello Everyone,I am trying to buy a Condo (2 bedroom 1 bath).

Not to mention, where should I buy first?

First time Cincinnati investor giving it a shot from out-of-state, currently in early stages and looking for advice.Current parameters are: seeking B-class 3bd/1.5ba SFH for buy and hold (possibly BRRRR), $150-250k.

The new breed of seller financed note buying trainers will teach you enough to find notes for them.

I prefer under-valued, distressed, poorly managed, properties needing updating/rehabbing in markets where I can buy at a discount and build equity and cash flow for my time and investment.

It's now time for us to buy a larger family home, but I don't want to sell my 1st home b/c I'm going to rent it out as well.

Investment Info:Industrial buy & hold investment.

You can only use an LLC to buy if you have cash or two years of tax returns through that LLC and can get lending with it.
