The biggest mistake they make is buying in bad neighborhoods thinking they are getting a deal.

Your 3rd loan can be an FHA 3.5% down loan and now you can own three duplexes with 8.5% down.Alternatively, if you start with your VA loan first your 2nd purchase would be the FHA 3.5% down, which is not bad, but the problem is that for your 3rd purchase you would have a minimum of a 15% down payment if you purchase a duplex and 25% if It's a 3-4plex.

NY is bad on that end .So I bet the pro note buyers could price that better.. than someone like me.

The main factor in good or bad pictures is lighting.

I've seen several on the 1-2-3 hour Free pitch, that provide both extremely bad information and just out right lied to the audience.I think another good strategy might be to go to your local investor meetings. 

You will be bad at first, and probably terrible.

I have had many successful projects but also had one bad deal which ruined everything for us. 

Not bad for all involved..

Things finally got so bad that I decided to list the property for sale in mid 2017 in an attempt to get what I could of my money back. 

Most are in Mpls or St Paul, but you will find some first-tier suburbs with large duplexes.  3-4 plexes are as common as a Vikings Super Bowl outside of the two cities.Within 45 minutes of MSP airport: This will be no problem, everything is within 45 minutes of the airport, especially in multifamily.Areas with a small town/ neighborhood feel are a big plus: South St Paul would have this feel so would Stillwater but that is probably more than 45 minutes from the airport with any level of traffic or bad weather.
