Or a large number of "for rent" or "first month free" signs in the area.Make you first deal especially lucrative to make up for the mistakes you'll inevitably make.

You can avoid making novice mistakes, while learning from someone who knows how to do things legally and with integrity.Everything you’ve ever done in your life counts!

Everything I have been looking at is in this price point so I'll find a multifamily at a higher income bracket and go through the same exercise.The intent of going with a lower income property for my first MFR is so that the mistakes I make on the first deal ( I know there will be some) shouldn't cost me as much.

Apparently, the lender made a mistake on the initial LE (attached below) and this number was duplicated and listed twice.

I think one mistake I made , which I won't do again , is have my agent send me listings he hasn't seen . 

I did make mistakes by not doing my duedelligence.

Additionally, we are taking into account that we're learning and it might be nice to make our mistakes on cheaper properties :)

On day 2 of my ownership I learned the hard way about the Landlord Tenant Laws... or I should say I started to learn; it took many mistakes before I had them all figured out.I messed up the management of this property so bad that after several months when I finally learned there was such a thing as a Professional Property Manager I hired my first PM. 

Some of you used books, some of you started investing with a friend and some just made an offer and learned from the mistakes along the way.As I already have some information from BP and other source, I thought about moving to the next step.I think I need something more tangible such as mentor who will me hand in hand through the process (real) or a course with practical parts or even BP to some extent.What would you recommend for a newbie ?

Larger margin deals, mean there is more room for mistakes.
