If the "you know what" hits the fan between you and your co-owner, at least there will be an agreement governing what should happen.

I am a huge fan of tile in the bathrooms and the kitchen.

I'm looking for turnkey properties for now since I don't have the time for any substantial renovations.I'm a big fan of the BP podcast and have read more blog posts than I can count, but I never got around to joining in on the forums.

Peter, i currently live in seattle and have about 500K equity in the house i currently live in(minus taxes realtor fees and moving expenses etc). a bit of history...I have 2 duplexes in buffalo one in lehigh and one in england.

We bought our first house in England and improved it over our tour, then sold.  

The workers see it as a forced savings plan because they do not have the self control to get ahead.This is why people's retirements etc. that have limited income these investments can be risky.I am just personally not a fan of pulling 100 investors at 2,000 a piece etc.

I've always been a fan of real estate investing, but never knew exactly where to start.

@Ilona Kovacs: We've had clients tell us that their coaching is "overpriced".I'm personally a big fan of Robert Kiyosaki and often recommend his books to investors because there is a lot of good foundational and attitudinal information in them. 

SFH investments might be a bit lower on the down payment sections.I haven't seen too many SFH in New England worth buying as rentals.
