Modest 8-unit property is in the realm where the "fool and their money" have not necessarily already been parted (...yet...), so they might try fishing for a sucker.

While the best inspector may cost $200 more upfront it’s well worth the money to KNOW what your problems are.

Hi All,
My name is David and I am with Property Sales Group. We are so excited to join the BP network. We flip about 50 houses a year and are looking to do more flips and wholesaling. I would love to get more leads a...

The government grossly overstimulated the economy, increased the money supply by 40%, and caused record inflation (in housing, food, energy, everything).

Is your personal networth over $500k-$1m?

I may also need to take out a small loan/line of credit to complete the house, depending on how far my money stretches. 

The college girls are very sweet. 2 play sports on scholarship and work and have told me they pay their own way with their scholarship money, loans, work etc and have good references from previous landlord and credit score. 

Hello, I think it’s really awesome that you’re just now beginning and you are already coming to the forums to learn so the first thing you need to do is to continue to stay on the forms and you also need to be reading all of the bigger pocketbook and start listening to their podcast to soak up as much knowledge as you can and as long as you do that, you will have all the knowledge you need to start and regarding your question I do not advise to buy a single-family house just to live in it without a rental property aspect so it’s OK if you want to live in the house as well but you will have to either get a multifamily property or you could also buy a single-family home and rent out the other rooms  now see when you have a property that you use just for your family then you have to pay the mortgage every month which is building your equity, but that responsibility is solely on you whereas if it has some sort of rental property aspect, there will be other people helping you build that equity if you were to buy a property just for yourself that is something that will be taking money out of your pocket every month while as a rental property if you buy right will be putting money in your pocket every month the only exception to what I just said is if you buy a property for yourself or just for your family to live in, you could do a live-in flip to where as you’re living in the property you rehab it while your living there and if you buy right with enough knowledge, then when you turn around to sell the property, you will make profit

Just to give you an example of the type of thing you'd be potentially looking out for, if the community has a pool terrace planned and it's orientation in the new building would face directly towards your property, that could be a source of significant noise and disturbance for you/your tenants, and could make it much harder to sell your property once the new building is built and occupied.On the positive side, new apartment buildings cost millions of dollars to develop and build, and developers really only sink that much money into areas where they're forecasting rent growth and property appreciation for their investment.  

If you actually want to be a decent person, as well as, a good landlord, stay away from property management companies!
