Would love to hear from the community on tips to get started and best locations to find my first property.

They can tell you what types of buildings and uses the property is zoned for.

If you have the time and want to take a more hands-on approach, I’d recommend looking into the BRRRR strategy or flipping properties.

Do they add value to the property?

Purchase price: $380,000 Cash invested: $20,000Purchased the property off-market directly from the seller during Covid-19 pandemic after relocating home to CT from living in NYC.

I'd like to approach them with purchasing the building but I'm assume they're not wanting to sell it until after the owner's death due to the step up basis.I have first right of refusal but what type of creative financing can I offer so that we agree upon a sale and price beforehand?

This property could be a great first step in building your investment portfolio! 

Hello BP Community,I have been approached by the holder of a seller-financed note (for a property I purchased from them) asking if I would be able to repay my note earlier than agreed. 

My name is Cam, and I discovered BiggerPockets on Spotify.I bought my first multi-family property about a year ago.
