Look up your states rules for activities requiring a real estate license. 

I am drawn to multi family homes and think I would like to start close to home here in the Twin Cities, but the more I listen and read, the less opposed I am to looking out of state. 

With the housing market being high in Washington, DC, I'm interested to know how others got started in the area. 

@Marc Shin, I do BRRRRs so mine end up as rentals.

The waiver is only good for damages not lack of notice or not showing up.

I'm looking at the bottom third of the market to focus (in Boise that is under $450k). 

In retrospect, some yellow flags found by the property manager during the tenant screening are now bright red flashing sirens, but the tenant showed decent credit, had a positive previous landlord reference, wrote a charming cover letter in his application, and applied through the referral of a reputable real estate agent.

The 3 main banks here are BPPR, Oriental & First Bank.  

hi guys,I have saved a 20% downpayment a property but struggling to save the remaining 65K for fixing the property up.Example, the property cost 150K, I saved up 35k, but struggling to save up an additional 65K to do the rehab (my understanding the lender will not give me the rehab money right away, I have to pay my own money to start rehabbing and the lender then will reimburse me in stages the rehab portion)Correct?

@Cheri Banet, the amount you owe has nothing to do with the taxes you will pay.
