I know it is possible but have never been involved in one with my clients. 

I’ve heard that buying a duplex is the best way to get involved.

Hi my bp family .I'm getting ready to start in the real estate world ,I'm going to lay out my plans with you guys an hopefully get some positive feedback .i own a home that's free an clear an getting ready to finish my basement an have it rent out with plans in pulling out a equity or heloc an have the proceeds from the basement unit to cover the expenses which I plan then too invest a portion from the equity on a multi family also I forgot to mention the basement unit will be legit as far as the plan goes I plan to rinse an repeat this method any suggestions,or am I  missing something your thoughts will be gladly appreciated 

However, in my opinion that is much more of a business than a passive investment because there is a lot more day to day involvement (i.e. cleaning, advertising, changing rental rates based on day of the week/time of year).

Hello folks, I've been listening to BP podcasts for sometime now, and have decided to finally get involved in the forums.

Previously, my method has been to purchase homes and hold/rent with healthy cash flow.

I think I would have paid for a hotel for them for one night since there was a baby involved, let them get a goods night rest before figuring out their next move.

It depends on your ability and involvement in the process.

This is a property specific question, as the answer will involve further questions like: what does the kitchen look like?

I have done this with several properties and haven't had an issues using this method.
