Good morning everyone,I've been following bigger pockets for a little over a year and finally decided to post something. 

Oklahoma City, just east of Lake Hefner, good area with good schools.Duplex, 3 bed 2.5 bath 1400sqft each side$275,000, traditional financing, 20% down, paying around 4.375%, maybe a little better, finalizing the loan today.Comes with long term renters paying $1100 and $1150, but this appears to be below market and hasn’t been raised in years.

My buyers were thrilled to finally find something that was producing income and in great condition.

Hey everyone, I've been researching, reading, educating myself on real estate investment for years, and finally took my first step.

One final thought, the property taxes on my 3 BK properties have increasing exponentially every year, and I imagine will only get worse with the impending budget crisis.Ps- I know it doesn't sound like it, but I am very bullish on the local market and wouldn't invest anywhere else. 

I can’t wait to finally live in SD, it has so much to offer!

Until Final is over.

Just a few thoughts: - Get a thorough inspection- Get 3-5 estimates from GCs- Pick the right ‘genre’ of GC (fourplex and smaller usually falls under midsize or smaller GCs) - Always check license numbers and if you’re repairs or more than $25k, request references/info for 3 past similar projects with pictures or check social media and reviews - Get a service agreement in place before finalizing your deal and make sure the estimates cover everything in your inspection report and nothing is overlooked so there’s not as much unexpected cost that pops up.

I had pretty bad PM, I finally was able to get a good PM, this year.  

Thank you so much to Bigger Pockets for helping us through over a year of analysis paralysis and pushing us to finally start making offers.
