Hey BP,My wife are just getting our feet wet looking for our first investment opportunity, perhaps a small duplex / multi-plex or out-of-town investment to get started.

Anything to get my feet wet in the investment game and then more then likley use the BRRRR method to continue the process. 

Hi, I am an 18 year old, actually still in high school, and planning to go to college. I know that I don't want to be stuck in a cubicle for 40 hour a week. I have had lots of exposure to the real estate investing com...

We made cash flow; however, we also had to cough up money for refinance.

For example, often fire damage is water damage--they put the red stuff out with wet stuff.

And you get you're feet wet with landlording (my lenders wants to see 2 years experience in landlording when approving investor loans).

For a while, I believed that I am making the correct decision by obtaining a masters in real estate to learn more and have a degree, but lately, I have been second-guessing myself and I am unsure if the MSRE degree is worth spending 30,000 towards tuition when I could instead get my feet wet with getting my first deal. 

or stop the damage (tear out wet insulation,...) it is likely that the company would approve the costs but I recommend checking it first.Even though your policy is at Replacement Cost, they will only pay that amount if you rebuild.

I am wondering if it would be a bad idea to split the down payment with my girlfriend to come up with the down payment quicker so we can finally start getting our feet wet in real estate investing.

Purchase price: $325,000 Cash invested: $45,000 Sale price: $500,000 When we purchased this rundown house with 7 acres on the river it predictably smelled like wet dog, cat urine and general disappointment.
