Hi guys, I am trying to decide where in "my backyard" to start my SEO focus. I live in NH on the seacoast in a small little market (10,000 population); with about 7-8 surrounding towns/cities ranging in population fro...

Ideally my first purchase would be a 3 or 4 unit property that would reduce my monthly payments to make it much easier to save money for future properties.

A lot of my "check-ins" can be a result of us parking behind the buildings and short cut walk throughs of the common areas to the main drag for the movies or dinner. 

The land contract deal was ideal and actually there idea.  

Cash flow management is an important part of the business. don't overleverage yourself to the point where one unforeseen makes you go bankrupt. ideally, if you want the tenant to leave so you can rehab and refinance you either buy them out of the lease, or put them in a hotel while you refinance, but that's not something you can depend on 100%.

Ideally I would like to keep the property.

My ideal option would be to work with a single private lender to fund a flip. 

The cap rates are much better then the burbs but YES the headaches and the cliental I deal with ahem let's just say are very "special".

There is no disputing the fact that the comps used are not ideal. 

Ideally you go find a good agent.
