The seller had finally put in new low end furnaces & small HW tanks leaving the old stuff in the basement.When it dropped to $55,000 & his tenants finally left we walked in & offered $40,000 cash, close in 30 & we were told to leave ... 10 days later we were asked to raise it to $45,000 & we had a deal.

Because I am 26 years old with a newborn baby coming in August and I believe if I can get the hang of this early on in my life, it could pay off big time later in life for me and my family.  

It's a lesson I'd rather learn now than thousands of dollars later.

There is such a thing as market cycles and we are due for a correction sooner rather than later. 

Really excited to be here and learn as much as I can from you all.I have been interested in real estate investing for years, but never really thought it was something feasible until later in my life.

I try to aim for a mix of 4-to-1 Multi to single, cash flow for now, appreciation for later.

That or buy a house below what you really want to live, so you can later fund your business.
