ExpensiveTemperamental, temperamental, temperamental...How much time, money and patience do you have to baby sit a renter who breaks the thing every two weeks and constantly mess with it?

Yachts, private parties, girls, alcohol, guns, ripping people out of their homes and kicking them onto the streets. 

I'm taking slow baby steps into Real Estate.

I just recently had a baby and it has been hard to get away from him for long periods of time. 

Firstly I’d like to state that this first property was done using a baby step approach, turnkey.

Since I've started here at BP I have read forums after forums about success and failure with investing.And the encouragement each of you guys and girls provide help to pave the way for us beginners to continue at what we love.Thanks and I really appreciate all the professional advise.

By that time I had moved stuff back to FCI and Madison and thanked baby J that I didn't transfer much to them, and it was my own money and not investors' money.

At 10% APR interest for 1st position purchase money only, you'll have experienced flippers beating a path to your door and you'll sleep like a baby at night (and no, that doesn't mean waking up screaming every two hours).

and live in a rental property with my wife and baby boy.

Lots to think about with an ongoing reno project and a baby coming in 4 weeks!
