Long term goal is to have enough rental properties, single and multi family, to have enough passive income to be my own boss and financially free!

In addition to the podcast, blogs, and forums, I found the BP books to be super helpful and easy to digest: http://biggerpockets.com/books and there's also a free intro video course that has a lot of the same material as the Book on Rental Property Investing: https://www.biggerpockets.com/courses/a-beginners-introduction-to-real-estate-investing

If im targeting a single house that I want, I dont like to leave messages.

wow guys I really appreciate all the information, it was super helpful.

A 203k Loan is where the purchase price and rehab costs are rolled into a single loan.Assuming you have a respectable FICO you can buy, with a FHA Loan (3-5% down, a 30 year amortization schedule, and a residential loan rate).

Up till that point every single tenant I deal with is lying to me.It sucks it has to be that way, but people always feel the landlord is the easiest and best person to screw over and they honestly think the world is theirs.

Right know we have built and sold 7 single-family homes and are subdividing other property into single family lots right now.

Hello – I was just reading the article on Facebook about why beginning your investing process with a duplex works out great, what I'm trying to find out is if I can use those same rules when buying a Single family house.

I have flipped single family homes, built spec homes, had section 8 rentals, and prepared due diligence packages for friends on a commercial scale. 

I saw earlier in one of the forums that it was difficult to get an FHA loan when you own a single family and want to move into a multifamily.
