Starting in REI can already be a little nerve racking, so I recommend doing your first deal on the easiest mode you can to build your confidence and build your skill set.If I had to do it all over again, I'd buy a personal home with 3-5% down then repeat every 12-18 months.

Recently purchased a 4000 square foot commercial office building in Canton OhioLooking for an inexpensive insurance solution. 

So secure a great tenant, understand the characteristics of the community and build an outstanding working relationship!  

I'm really on the learning stage at the moment and I know that I have to find and build the right team to make things work.

I am licensed in NY and CT so I was going to go to CT and buy a number of single families or a multifamily building but I am indecisive on whether I should go to CT or Jersey...or both.

Prioritizing transparency helps build stronger, more resilient relationships with investors.How do you keep your investors informed?

@Nathan Gesner its the food factor.

For illustration purposes, I purchased two side by side 3- unit buildings, each zoned RSA3 (a single family base zoning district's).

The best thing to do is to build up a strong team with an investment specialist realtor / broker, property manager, contractors, inspectors, lenders, title companies, ect. 

My rental units have poor insulation in a building I own and I’m trying to evaluate how to improve and the best way to do so.I’ve heard that putting spray foam insulation is an option.
