We are young, like being in the city and being close to everything.

I wanted to reach out and share some exciting news—I've just finalized the purchase of my first rental property, and the closing is scheduled for next week.As I embark on this journey, I'm eager to kickstart the process with some guidance from seasoned investors like yourselves.

We are about to close on our first triplex and need some minor work done in one of the units. 

. - if the office is randomly closed when you stop by during business hours its not a good sign. 

Build credit history and savings for down payment and closing costs.

Good advice from @Nathan Gesner and Account Closed Also bear in mind that if you can find a current deal that makes sense, and will generate even a decent amount of cash flow right now.....then you can just about count on it doing very well once you are able to refinance.

Your best bet is going to be running them close to where you are.

It was originally the plan to buy it from me when he could swing it, I just wanted to walk away from the closing table with $10,000.

I do have some directions to point you if you've an interest.Thanks Account Closed, but I’ll continue on the learning path that my wife and I are already on.

I can tell you have never filled out a maintenance/cap ex cost spreadsheet because “Even if you included $100 per month in maintenance/repairs” is no where close for 2 units.
