Hey Blake, I am looking for sites probably in the 2 to 10 acres and I want to be as close to Wilmington as possible!!

i recently closed into a property which I bought from another investor who got it through a tax deed sale.

A few things to think about if you live very close to that small town 15-20 mins or less that would be a plus...if its a long drive and your doing a lot of the work then I would likely steer away. 

Excited to have another Ohioan/close to Cincinnatian here on BP!

I just closed on my first house Friday and am doing all of the work myself with my step dad.

Still wanted to be close to CA and Lake Tahoe but have much more favorable tenant/landlord laws, property taxes DO NOT reassess on the sale, stable diversified job growth, population growth, land constraints force appreciation, and a ton of outdoor activities that I enjoy. 

Multi-family properties, like duplexes, triplexes, and quadplexes, let you live in one unit and rent out the others, which could make you more money in rent.When it comes to financial planning, it's important to assess your financial situation, calculate your down payment, closing costs, and ongoing expenses, and leverage VA loan benefits effectively to enhance your buying power.

I’m not sure the specifics, but, we are currently doing/have closed many recently lower than that on 30-year fixed DSCR loan (individual or portfolio).

Remember, when it comes to taxes, thoroughness and compliance are your best defenses against IRS scrutiny.No matter what tax advice you receive, remember that the devil is in the details, and the IRS will scrutinize your claims closely.

They provide a document confirming this at closing as well.I would not recommend lending money directly peer to peer for your first deals.
