Also, as you self educate you will find a more specific strategy, the more focused you get, the more someone else can help you move forward.

There have been home invasions and lots of drug issues in Torrington specifically lately. 

@Eric Hardt I haven't pinned down a specific area yet.

Hello Everyone,I'm looking for recommendations for a great investor's Real Estate Agent, specifically someone who is very familiar with duplex, triplex, and quadplex properties, in the $400,000 to $600,000 range, ITP, preferably Virginia Highlands, Druid Hills, Inman Park, or as close to those neighborhoods as possible while keeping in that price range.

This paperwork is state specific.

Essentially, this is what I do, regardless of specificity.

While I have lending lined up with a 5 year balloon, 20 year amortization and I'm ok with that, does anyone know of any lenders specific to Illinois that have longer term fixed rates for a cash out refinance assuming the proper appraisal and LTV?

Specifically, I'd like to know if there's a stated maximum allowable time limit?  

Tucker, there are many REI groups in Massachusetts, some specifically for beginners. 

Of course, lots of specifics are being left out.
