If you were going to do buy and hold and properties and finance them traditionally depending on how you two file your taxes it may be more beneficial to put the properties in separate names therefore you can acquire more properties, unless your able to find a portfolio lender, in which case shouldn't matter much.Just a little to think about .

I love this site and provides a huge amount of information that is beneficial, but I feel that I need some "hands on" learning from an expert-as that is how I learn the best.

It's always beneficial to learn more and you would have direct access to listings that you wouldn't otherwise.

With interest rates still hovering low, this scenario would probablybe the most beneficial for someone trying to break into home ownership.

Brianna - Thanks for replying, this makes me feel a lot better about my choice to go with a multi-unit via FHA loan.

The current state tax records only have the improvemnents listed as 16k dollars (which is way undervalued).I plan on completing the strucure prior to renting (I have no choice the county wont give me occupancy permit until all work is done).

I think sometimes, you can't behave like an economic robot and you've just got to do what feels right, particularly when both the choices are good (just one is better).

I'm the opposite of a rehab expert but I did take on my own house renovation not by choice per say.Best I can offer is this.Communication is key, be explicit on what you want with clear explanations.Do not pay if you are not happy.

Great that you're on top of all this at such an early age.If you really want to Wholesale and are trying to pick a market then I would look at large saturated markets as my first choice where there's plenty of large quantity of densely populated houses.

It is beneficial to discuss with the current owner the payment history of the tenants though.
