Hey guys and gals,I recently purchased a duplex and about a month later another investor purchased the 4 plex next door to me.

The one house I'm looking at has over 1300 square feet and doesn't look that bad (Compared to the rest of the town).

Jaclyn McClellan Alex Bok thank you guys so much.

Hi guys, my name is Florence Wambui, I am from Kenya and I am greatly interested in investing not only in real estate but also in other areas like the retail sector.

So here I am, hoping you guys can inspire and mentor me on potentially making my first deal in the near future!

At this time I would Sell two of my rental houses in order to Buy my friends two houses, on the lot next door, in a bad neighborhood, because I can get them for $30K under Retail, after a new roof and electric.

You were already given bad information a while back - what changed?

I understand that this may come with a host of other problems, bad tenants, etc. though. 

Great guy.

If it makes you feel any better, 40% over that time period is actually a really bad rate of return, provided you bought cash.
