It's making us rethink our strategies and possibly move beyond the traditional ways we've been doing things.Then there's the impact on mortgage lending.

I have studied and currently reading some of the books from BP but I haven't made my 1st move since I feel clueless on how to start and I don't have the resources neither.

Consider this loss tuition in the school of real estate and move on.

It’s hard to know much about your neighbors before moving in, but if you can get any information on them before you make an offer I strongly advise you to do so.Is the home in an HOA?

If I were younger (I’m pushing 50) and my SO was more on board with the whole real estate investing program I would be moving into a new low down payment property every 14-15 months as soon as I had raised the money for a new down payment.

And if they don't, just move on to the next call with the same motivation. 

Are you open to moving to a 2-4 unit building?

Does anyone have any recommendations for brokerages moving forward?

There was no cold water from the time I moved in on 12/23.

When they decide to move I will then see what I have to do , I may do a full remodel , I may just need to clean and paint .
