Hey Katrina,Your dedication to learning about finance and real estate investing is commendable, especially as a single mother.

I am interested in see what other professionals have seen as good areas to invest in, what the average rents you are currently seeing for 3/2 roughly 1500sqft homes.

I am just getting started out in multi-family investing, so would like look into smaller apartment complexes (less than 10 doors).

Conventional does not have this requirement at the moment, but there are rumors that Freddie will be updating guidelines soon to require 1 year of landlord/PM experience for investment property loans.

I have a small real estate development/construction/investment company with four partners.

Invest into a 2-4 unit and you will be able to finance it under a FHA loan and the minimum down payment of 3.5%.

Im doing real estate investing.

Hi, I am newly under contract for my first investment property, a duplex we plan to live in and rent out.

The best protection for you and your investments?

A competent PMC will simply rent your property to the best tenants -quickly- and they will charge a nominal fee to manage your investment property with competence.
