(We were planning to move back to our rental and rent our primary due to higher rents so started to rehab the primary then found out insurance would not insure us due to the high fire risks if we changed so ended up rehabbing both houses and burned the savings).Our dilema is we don’t want to sell either of our current houses due to excellent locations and appreciation potential but want to progress with more rentals.

The reason why I am asking for advice on this, is because I just now started to save for a down payment on a house and I am looking to move into my first home next year. 

If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general.

I am an ambitious retired network engineer who started that career after closing down my first business which was in the automobile industry، sooner later I developed an interest in investing in my property and other ones by using Airbnb. it was a really funny story to begin but you know that after one year I would be managing 33 luxury apartments distributed across one of the fastest growing communities in my country.

I think starting with a mutil family, adding value to it (making improvements if needed and raising rents), is a great way to get started.

Purchase price: $155,400 Cash invested: $40,000 Property is located in Cuyler-Brownsville an historic district within walking distance of popular Metropolitan District of Savannah GA.I purchased the property to get started in the real estate space, however I value the walkability of the property, its proximity to parks and nightlife.Although the area is a rated roughly as a “C class” neighborhood.

It's starting on 8/17 but if you buy before most likely seller is paying the commission.

Best of luck getting started.  

5) Consider meeting with a few agents in your area even if you are just getting started!
