With enough reps in the student rental market, there won’t be much you are unprepared for when you jump into your first deal.Best of luck young man, and keep the positive momentum going!

30 year fix would be good option,If you are looking for positive cash flow.  

My name is Lisa and I currently reside in Columbus, Ohio.I grew up watching my parents investing in RE and becoming longtime landlords and I witnessed many positive and negative experiences they went through with various tenants.

You also don't want to put your self in a bad economic position with your first property. 

I am currently working on a few construction projects for new investors, and I don't see how they can get positive cashflow on their investments.OC is a great place to live, but you don't want to strap your cash on an expensive property; and missed out on future properties when the market is more reasonable.Good luck  

I was focused on my business for the last 8 years and now have 2 stores for my business and I am finally in a position where I'd like to get back to doing some form of RE investing. 

Absolutely.Now, thankfully, I am not in that position anymore, and my portfolio has grown to sustain itself without my personal finances being involved. 

In addition the real estate investment journey in flipping/whole tailing (no deals to date, still on the hunting mission, we’ll get there), my wife and I are considering moving out of our home (70% Ltv, been our homestead for >3yrs), getting rid of PMI to lower mortgage payment then renting it out as a positive cash flowing long term investment and buying/moving into a new home then rinse repeat in another 2 years.

Hello BP, So I’m in a tough position, I would love to start investing.

For example, if you had a duplex and lived in one side and rented out the other, you can use any positive cash from the rental to pay towards your loan.
