The plan is to build a few houses a year, some rentals, some to sell.

I will start researching the factors you mentioned in the general area I am intending to purchase the property.

Hey all, working through closing on my first investment property, a 4-unit househack in central Wisconsin priced around $400k. 

However, the buyer might click just to see "what this ad is all about" or to check if you have properties for sale.

It’s because the guru’s are NOT selling a real estate program, strategy or technique - they’re selling the American Dream of wealth and financial independence.   

That said it's been a great learning process and has been successful in the markets we've been in.Recently we purchased a 6 family property in Worcester Ma.

@Nicole CotrinoKey factors: Do you materially participate in managing the property?

Make sure that whatever deal your looking at, you have the cash to enter, and realize your probably not going to receive back that equity + the gain on investment via appreciation, until you sell. 

I am excited that I am finally preparing to purchase my first investment property!

I want two things - I want help customizing a lease for my property.
