I am having a little bit of trouble shifting gears but I am working on is slowly.I am in Rhode island, I have been looking for deals on the MLS ( slim pickings as it seems ALOT of people in RI are looking for deals there) So I started a secondary search for wholesalers but The three I have found ( Craigslist) seem to be evaluating house differently then me because  when I run the 75% test its off.. ( different comps?

Make sure their rent is sufficient enough to cover the added ongoing expense. 3.  

Hi @Tim Fishback I invest on South Broadway and I am three blocks off of Broadway near Yale.

Option two would be to buy cheap houses, fix and flip them and after I had enough money to pay cash for the rentals just buy one say every two or three flips.

I unerstand your frustrations here because I have many of the same...Over the past three years I've picked up eight SFH in Brevard, mostly (four) in Port St.

That Sunday, the three of us met, and I told them the story of the deal.

and a "lightweight" version of the Dave Ramsey outlook.Two paid off fourplexes and a triplex very well might yield the same net income as 10 fourplexes mortgaged to the hilt, for example, and if you can get those three paid off faster then you can quit the day job sooner.

My advise is to do all three of those things when necessary to maintain a good reputation in the industry.

I'm very fortunate to have had professionals rent the house (she's an MD, he's a chef) for the past three years and will be sorry to see them leave in late July. 

My wife and I are in the process of taking online real estate courses but working full time jobs and three smaller kids, its difficult to complete and retain information.The goal is to start small and then invest in more multi-family home.
