It was always a speculative investment, investing on sentiment and a trend.

Number one advice: Never trust a broker's pro forma. 

But that's what you get in real estate investment & make most of the money.

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

My name is Logan and I am wanting to get into real estate investing and saw that this would be a good place to start! 

I would like to invest in a small duplex/ tri-plex in NC to get started. 

I have been investing in Ohio and want to try another state.

Quote from @Jokari Trueheart: HI, almost 11 months ago I purchased 3 duplexes and I borrowed the funds from my personal residence which I took out a equity agreement for the down payment on the investment property, great idea at the time because I have 10 years to pay it off and theres no payment requirement, but , I learned more about the consequence that it takes a large chunk of my equity the longer I take to pay it back, so my goal was to refi cash out the investment property to pay it back but I don't think theres enough equity yet to pull the full $106k needed, I only borrowed $88k but with the equity percentage for one year i'm paying about $18k in equity on top of the amount I borrowed if I pay it off in year one, so I need this paid off ASAP before it increases more.

The Augusta market is heating up and it's a great time to start investing and continue to grow.
