To be able to take care of myself and give back to the ones that helped me is my ultimate goal.

Be very careful  in the Village of Hempstead.

Also if possiable I was wondering what's some good way to find properties for the wholesale style flip to sell to a rehabbed or anything like that ?

Other than that I have several people in the area that could take care of any urgent needs the tenant may have.

currently enrolled in jy monk real estate class, was wondering about any websites, books, study guides etc. that i can use to increase my chances of passing the exam.  

Be careful not to lose functionality to the back yard.  

It is possible to find a bank that doesn't care but you will have to do some scoting. 20% down for an investment property would be a dream, most lenders want at least 25% down, some even 30%.As for you rent is that what market rates are in the area you're looking at buying in?

I work full time in health care where i want to start building other forms of cash flow.

I've only had one small issue and I was able to call a friend and he referred me to someone that was able to help me take care of it.

Hello Alll,I'm wondering if there is a database of landlords or a easy way to find them...
