Remember, it’s not important to start fast and get big, just start and learn.

I started with an afternoon every other week, which was changed to an afternoon every week.So I put issues into 3 buckets: emergency (a pipe is leaking), within 24 hours (toilet running), and non-pressing (a door is not closing on its own), which is where most things landed and are handled that way.

This collaboration underscores the value of strong partnerships and local expertise in identifying and securing lucrative real estate opportunities.

Then you can start dabbling into buying rentals or flips.

So, if the lien does not sell in Year 1, and you buy Year 1 and Year 2 liens in the Year 2 auction, then the 4 years starts on the date of the Year 2 auction.  

So that is not even the closing date.I start to think of moving away from this deal but don't know if that's even possible.

My expertise includes market analysis, personalized service, and strong negotiation skills.I’m excited to connect with fellow investors and professionals here on BiggerPockets.

But the situation did get me to start thinking on how to properly analyze a small multifamily house.I've only invested in SFRs so I'm a little green when it comes to properly analyzing a duplex.

Starting with a single-family rental (SFR) property is a practical approach.

When factoring in risk, I agree with @V.G Jason The start of the fall....margin call.
