Mixed use in good areas tend to trade on the higher end.

It became too much for us to manage so we sold and traded into SFH long term properties. 

I think education is important whether it be for knowledge, real estate, and/or trade, so invest there, but invest smartly.

I see all these deals trading for around $100,000 with a gross of $1,000 -$1,500 and I have no idea how people make money saying they where to purchase with debt. 

I hope to see you at some trade shows in the future :)

Hi everyone, I'm a young professional who has one rental underneath his belt and i want to buy more, specifically a property in Trenton, i heard it could be good for cash flow, i am a handy man, more specifically an electrician, I'm willing to trade knowledge for work. im really looking for single family homes that are along the hamilton/trenton border that may or may not need work but turn into something worth while, does anyone know what specific neighborhoods are worth looking into? 

Main thing I see, at least in my area and state, is that there is a shortage of construction professionals and trades people.
