Good morning everyone,I found a 2-family home with 3 bedroom/1 bath unit per floor, including the basement and the attic.

I have prepared numerous Schedule E's, Form 1065's, Schedule K-1s and also worked on a couple of 1031 exchanges during my time at the CPA firms.Any advice or resources for getting the ball rolling with real estate investing would be greatly appreciated!

Question, does the deal include the land?

Some questions I have include:1.

Or do I just do what I need to do to keep the job and focus more of my effort into REI and educating myself on real estate, including taking advantage of the business classes I have access to here?

Investor is trying to avoid the lending requirements to owner occupied borrowers, including Dodd Frank.

One piece that might make a difference is if you're paying the utilities (or utils included with rent).

Do a Welcome letter to everyone the day you take over, include who they now make payment to, your contact emergency number, and let them know you look forward to meeting them.As far as leases, you don't want to renew or give everyone same date for renewal, stagger your renewal dates so you won't risk having 3 empty units.

We had our second home rented out before the closing.At this point and after reading numerous books on real estate, I realized that although we had reached our goal of owning a rental, our finances were completely vertical and I need to spread out to increase cash flow and reduce the impact of a vacant property.In January 2016, I started data basing different markets across the USA.

I have had numerous businesses through the years but it was serious health issue and the realization that disability social security payments would not allow me to live that made me want to build a successful RE portfolio.
