This can be a tall order for many just getting started.Otherwise, one way to get around that is to buy a a new house that you will "house hack" where you live in one side, and rent out the other side.  

I’m remodeling a house for rental and I’m debating if replace all carpet for hardwood floor, even on rooms and closets.

Those sites also have ghost bidders pushing up the price so you will see properties leave and come back the next week after not hitting the reserve or when a ghost bidder wins by mistake.

Hi folks I previously posted about a 5 bed 4.5 bath house for sale at 590,000 and has been up for 60 days.

A third of our portfolio is affordable housing.

I do have one who is using a self-directed IRA to purchase a rental that is being rented out as a house share. 

I got voodoo'd by this on the very last house I bought, where I am *certain* the bank would have come down another $2k but the selling agent magically produced another offer that was going to come up $1k from the bank's offer in order to "entice" me to take the bank's "final" offer.

Hi, I have some savings (under 50k) and want to invest in real estate, preferably BRRRR or a house flip.1.
