You'll want to get prequalified and know exactly what you can afford because the market is super competitive and you'll need to be ready to make offers quickly once you find something you like.

When you put less down you do have PMI but the PMI offers a lower rate which most people do not know.

You will then have a few options with that rent money....you can put it into principal or you can start saving it to purchase yet another property.

I believe I have a lot to offer a buyer client with their search.

Hey BP family,I am new to real estate investing but would love some experts insights so I don't get burned on my first dealThis is the property: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/724-N-22nd-Ave-Bozeman-MT...My thoughts are my wife, 8 month old and I could live in Unit A for a year or two while we rent out Units B & C to help cover the mortgage payments until we build/buy a more desirable family ranch home with min 10+ acres which we've been looking for but have yet to find.My hesitation is I've never been a landlord and am reluctant to get in over my head with property problems while simultaneously growing an online business and being a new father.After some negotiation we counter offered 895k with a 2-1 rate buy down for 20k and the sellers have verbally accepted but since our offer expired we need to resubmit.

Better option is to use the search feature at the top right of this site and spend weeks reading about wholesaling.

No option but to sell to stop hemorrhaging...After selling can I deduct losses (including passive losses) against other capital gains or ordinary income by 3K?

But most sellers and realtors also will not deal with 1 in 1000, meaning they will not accept your offer.

If they send an estimate over and I think I have a better option, I'll let them know I'd rather send in my resource.There's a lot to cover, so it's tough for a PM have both a deep and broad deck of resources all the time.

These may be a better option as they are built for real estate so they are less generic than your traditional project management software like Monday.com
