I plan on investing in only multifamily apartments and build up a portfolio that will allow my family to live without having to put in a 9-5.

Explain to them that you need to build up a reserve fund for capex and hard times.

I would like to do a fix and flip to build up my capital and gain some experience, but my area (wilkinsburg/homewood) doesn't seem like a prime spot to do that in or am I mistaken?

At the same time, in continuing to build up my cash reserves because when the next market drop comes around I want to be able to buy up as many properties as possible.

I know that after a lot of trial and error you build up a spec sheet of the materials you favor the most, but for someone like me just starting out, how should I go about this?

When I called the city, they said I can build up to 4 units as you mentioned, but I'm sure there will be many restrictions as to what size of a building I can build.

Once I had a deal on the line, but I lost it because I couldn't get a buyer quick enough.I'm in bed now from other businesses like, Ecommerce businesses that didn't work out, Etc.I've slowly climbed out and build up my personal credit again.

As interest rates are rising, I still believe that it is a great time to buy, and most people unfortunately turn a blind eye to all the long term benefits to owning real estate ( tax deductions, equity build up, cheaper to own versus rent and appreciation).   

Yea I have no problem with the lease option while they build up their credit..I was just saying that working deals that allow the homeowners to stay in the same home after they were foreclosed on is a bad idea.

Hello all, I am trying to find lists of evictions in King & Pierce countires through the courthouse for marketing to tired landlords.
