I have done it over and over again with great success.

But that takes years of building a successful track record to do.

I generally like to see rents of $900 to $1,000 and above, but that can be market dependent.Visit the area and the provider you are considering - there is nothing like a face to face, seeing the neighborhoods, the quality of the rehabs, and the operations of the provider.Fully vet the property management - nothing is more important than the PM in the long term success of your rentals.There's more, but those are some keys to look out for.All best in your REI!

I know I will need a special exception for this project and that is the least of my worries about the success of the project.

Eventually, if successful profits will be used to continue to purchase additional properties with the same arrangement.Are you saying with this structure we would be considered a "Syndication" and would need to abide by SEC rules?

Take other successful investors out to lunch and ask them questions.

Be sure to lock in to good local eyes wherever you end up investing as they will be your key to your success and equally as important as the day you make your first purchase. 

So this is not my first deal but I am so happy to share this “first deal” success story with you.

In the past I have had success investing in the stock market and helping my dad run his SFR rental in Texas.

Seeking an award of compensation for damages may stand a better chance of success ... collecting, on the other hand, is bound to be the real challenge.
