I honestly think I would feel most comfortable with my first investment property being a single family home. 

I would like to know the cost for slab or perimeter foundation.I got a 50k quote from someone on phone  for slab , which sounds too high for a 800 sq ft single story. on a flat piece of land

I have this property under contract I have had multiple cashbuyers go see the property its a 3b 1b the seller said it’s on a double lot but the lot it’s not big enough to split, however it’s a single family home and it’s a potential tear down it’s gutted it’s in real bad shape the seller ran out of capital that’s why he wants outs.

We are fortunate to own a single family rental home in our area outright. 

I am single and can go to a location where good deals are to be had.

An entirely separate entity will be needed and brokerage corporation will be needed.To start the residential firm will be a single member LLC but may turn into a partnership in the near future. 

I understand that you think you have to start out with a single family home which only one unit or a duplex (1 or 2 units)  can really hurt you with a vacancy. 

-is it relatively easy to find a professional to rent a single room in that zip code (south austin)?

If you want to live in the house and title it in your name you get tax benefits upon sale (if occupied 2 years as your primary residence 250K if single and 500K if married) gains are tax exempt.

Hey everyone-- I'm currently negotiating on a new owner-financed 1st position, re-performing note in Alabama, single family home valued at 24k.
