Hi BiggerPockets Community,I'm a first-time real estate investor and currently exploring different markets to make my first multi-family property purchase.

I'm particularly passionate about cash flowing for financial independence and renovating with my construction experience.Outside of real estate, I enjoy fishing, ultimate frisbee, skiing.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

I understand how a seller could be lied to.

I know they could have been pulling the wool over my eyes, but it was only 3 days and I wasn't going to make a stressful situation worse.

Where abouts are you looking at to invest?

Low entry, limited inventory on market, a quick 2-3 month project How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Start collecting rent on the 2/1($1650 within 45 days from close).So the question.. how do I tell if this is a good deal?  

I have decided to partner up with another investor to buy this property together.

It's the only software I have tried so I don't know how it compares.What I can say is it's easy to navigate and they keep making improvements at the request of their user's suggestions.

Those might make good rentals...but also there can be extra costs...see if they are in PIDs/PUDs or MUDs that add significant cost to the monthly payment...maybe $100-$200 extra a month.Also $2500 sounds high on rent to me for 1800sqft....I would think more like around $2000/month, but haven't looked in that area lately.I do like Forney....one issue is I don't think there are good demand drivers there.
