You want two or three Architects on file since they can be busy if they are good and you need one when you need one not a year from now.

Now, I've been busy obtaining Lis Pendens lists from my local town/city hall (which is like an hour from me...) and did some research on the properties I've obtained.

Where we are planning on moving is about an hour away from where we currently live.

My husband and I just posted our house for rent three evenings ago.

I’ve listened to the podcasts everyday as my commute is 1.5 hours one way and I still continue to listen and repeat episodes.

Additionally, I am currently in negotiations for a three unit comercial/retail property using bank and seller financing.... units five, six and seven... checkwhich means that 8 weeks into the year I was already well past the half way point to my goal for the whole year!!!...

If you go the engineering route, prepare for hours of studying.

I have found a few multi-family properties I am interested in purchasing, all meeting at least my minimum cash flow numbers and Cash on Cash percentages, however these properties are about 4 hours away from my primary residence.

@Joel O'Leary  unless they catch it very early on like within in an hour or so..

We prefer to make the investment relatively close i.e. 2-3 hours flight max.We want to start small as this would be our first but start at a location where we can then buy more and bigger investments (like an apartment complex) once we have a local team and understand the micro-markets and details. have been considering buying something from roofstock.com to begin with.
