BP Friends, Question: I plan on converting a garage into a 3rd bedroom with a bathroom.

But the opportunity came to me thru a friend.

Sounds like you should gather up your spouse/friends/relatives and have a little midnight cleaning party!!

Hi All,A couple of friends and myself are just getting started in the Nashville REI community and are in the process of building a network of reliable contractors. 

One of my best friends and I are actively looking for a 4-plex to purchase as our first deal together.

Very specific situation I've got here that I haven't been able to find good information online that fits this unique criteria.I have a friend that has a property that they own free and clear of mortgage, yet they are paying a HELOC of approx. $300 a month for.

Please click on the links, give them a read, and share your thoughts in the comments.First is a post that I feel will help not get overwhelmed with the amount of info that is here on BP:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/5868/52761-the-simple-guide-to-getting-started-on-bp The second is a post that will help get you focused with your real estate investing goals:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/5868/52743-im-new-to-bp-any-advice-would-be-appriciatedThe last one is a post that will help you choose an “investor friendly” real estate agent.

Your just buying it from a friendly party (the EAT).It all completes when you sell your old property and buy the new property (or take the membership interest in the EAT which qualifies and avoids a double real estate closing). 

Hola friends,Hypothetical: I buy a house in Syracuse for cash and then need to finance the flip.  

I was referred to this site by a local investor and friend of mine, and the value of what this site has available to us is truly incredible.
