My fiance and I are looking to get into real estate, and we are planning as our first step (after making sure our budget can afford it) to get preapproved for a 2nd loan.

My first steps would be talk to a loan officer and determine what you could qualify for (either before you move or when you do move), and get a really good realtor that knows the area well and has found duplexes before.

Sounds like you've already invested a lot in your education in real estate - kudos to you for putting in the hard work.My top recommendation for next steps: If you haven't subscribed to the podcast yet, I can't recommend it highly enough.

Great job on breaking down the steps for @Donald Murrill and all other investors seeking to convert a motel into an apartment.

I googled it and got a basis of what it means but want to get a more in depth answer and a step by step of how that process works.

Reach out, explain that you have a current company under contract, however he is falling behind and you are taking steps to possibly replace him.

The question I thought I would ask is:  What is an actionable step that you make everyday that you believe is imperative and key to being successful in investing? 

There are a variety of methods people use @Matthew Hall, ranging from direct mail to driving for dollars, to targeting specific niches (such as delinquent tax records).

Hi @Samara Rivers,What you're doing is a popular method of buying properties.

I was wondering the steps I need to take to get an FHA loan (where to go, who to talk to, what to ask, at what point in the process, etc.).
