There are people in your shoes that have made REI work for them and you can do it too!

Also, my husband and I recently began educating ourselves financially and wanted to increase our cash flow and not relying solely on our paychecks.I'm very interested in real estate investing.

Well, here comes my question if I buy a multi family in the hood I would say maybe like c- or d+ area does the bank look at that when refinancing in the future or is it based solely of numbers, cash flow etc?

Speaking solely about Belair-Edison my last 3 rentals played out as follows.1. 

Let's say I just want to form a sole proprietorship and call it "ABC Real Estate" which would be buying real estate.

My suggestion, don't make decisions based solely upon fear.

I'm also a local realtor that work solely with Investors, please let me know if I can help!

As previously stated a smoker can never be trusted to only smoke outside. 50% will straight up lie, 25% will have friends that also smoke that even they will not be able to police and the other 25% will smoke inside when it is raining, too cold or they are simply too lazy to put their shoes on that day.

I would love to hear what people in my shoes with my money would do if they were me.

@David SrayI guess no one commented what they would do if they were in your shoes.
