But maybe I am mistaking.  

@conner @Conner SmallwoodWelcome to BP Dayton is an excellent buy and hold market and one of the most affordable places to live and invest.You will avoid many mistakes if you research this site .

It's generally more cost effective to have an accountant do it right the first time.Common mistakes:  Not breaking the mortgage payment into PITI.  

This is our businesAs an investor myself who early on made EVERY mistake you can imagine in the single family world and the Multi famliy world, we have taken those mistakes and setbacks and turned them into valuable lessons and make sure non of our clients walk into those same pitfalls we did.

The consequences of a mistake can be quite severe.

One lesson I learned is that it's always better to make your mistakes on a small deal first, rather than jumping in with both feet.

I think you've made a classic newbie mistake.

I bought an ugly condo on Comm Ave in Boston, and lived in and remodeled it for seven months while learning every lesson learnable and making every mistake makable.

There is no landlord in town profiting off of you and your family.The mistake I often see people make in this primary residence plan is that they buy the primary, and then do all the additions/glitter/and debt-funded improvements that push their costs way out of proportion.

Rohit -I'm sensing you are about to make a big mistake.
