I'm a beginner but have researched the listings heavily.Matt Devincenzo is right in that the retail market is valued too highly to make cash flow work, but if you can find an off market deal or make a low offer it may work.

Make sure you have your team together, and do your research, and you'll be fine.Good luck and thank you for your continued service!

I have done some research I can get $625 per unit.

Since my goal is to buy and hold, and since my research so far tells me its tough to start in my market, I'll probably be looking into other markets.

You might want to consider doing some research on FLiPs if you have children or plan to.

Whenever I've singled out a property for further research I always ask my agent to ask the seller agent to ask the seller if seller financing is an option.

I'm 27 years old and I've been researching different ways to get into real estate investments.

We've just begun to research the differences between an LLC and a series LLC.

@Mark Ferguson To me, transitioning to RE was like getting another Master's degree; about two years of hands-on learning and research is needed and most folks are just looking for a shortcut; gurus offer that - or at least promise it.

Do your research.- Good luck
