Any tips and guidance will be appreciated.

Let me describe my situation: I moved to the U.S. from another country and feel ready to purchase my first investment property.

I recently moved to Louisville, KY about two months ago.

What advice or tips would you give that could've helped yourself when you made similar investments in the past? 

It was the right move for me.

For my duplex, the Upside team was able to find and have the tenant moving in in 4 weeks.

If anyone has tips or tricks I am open to hear them.

Just moved down for a job.

As I recall, just meeting three of those conditions (and there are several more) moves you from 1099 to W-2.It's been 9 years since I sold my pack & ship store, so maybe that has changed.The USPS is ramping up their competition, so it's wise to keep an eye on them. 

If you focus on a 2-4 unit you only need 15% down as an investment.Once you have owned a 2-4 unit for 12 months you can consider moving into the 5+ commercial world.
