Check your state landlord tenant laws.Insurance will not cover if they stop paying, it is on you, six months buffer PITI before you start playing real ball here!

I would say in the ball park of 20-25000 for a move in ready home.

It's finally finished (after 4-months) and we ended up getting a real low ball appraisal. 

If you are just looking to get the ball rolling and maybe not acquire a place for say, 6 months, then getting pre-qualified might be all you need at that point in time.Hope this helps.

My primary concern is the fact that I'm investing in the Pacific Northwest which is somewhat hostile toward landlords and makes it difficult to do business, meaning there is a high level of regulatory risk in my region.I'm not sure exactly what asset class to focus on, I just heard the BP Podcast #416 with Matt Onofrio which got me really intrigued about industrial warehouses, and I've also watched a couple of youtubers who have had success with Self-storage, but I'm really just looking for books that others have found helpful for getting started in any non-multifamily CRE asset classes.I was really inspired by Matt's story and would like to start learning more about warehouse investing, I'm in Portland and we have an Ocean connected port, River barges, intercontinental railroad connections, an International airport and of course a large interstate highway intersection, so that sounds like a good place to start, but I don't know the first thing about this asset class.I get the things to be aware of for multifamily investing to forecast income and expenses and evaluate a deal, but I have a feeling Industrial is a whole different ball game, and I'm looking for resources to get started.Thanks,-Mike

@Abdullah Rubiyath if you think offering cash so you can low ball sellers is a good idea, why not just make an offer contingent on financing and if financing isn’t an option, you agree to pay all cash?

Most all economists say home values will continue to rise this year but no one has a crystal ball. 

Chicago has pretty much dropped the ball entirely with replacing these bins so now everybody just steals each others bins.So the problem is, the tenants sort of take turns taking out the garbage but it's getting a little messy.

Hello everyone, Im trying to get the ball rolling on investing in RE, so over the last few days I have been calling local credit unions and banks to compare Heloc rates and terms.

A lot of new investors, myself included, use the house hacking strategy to get the ball rolling and pick up a property for low downpayment.
