I've been in the healthcare field for the past 15 years; I read books, listen to various podcasts; trying to learn as much as i can about rental property investing, (multi-family units).

Although I may treat it as an out of state and hire a PM just to familiarize myself with that as well but be close enough encase any emergencies arise.

The private lender runs "a trade or business", like hard money lenders and professional money lenders do, as opposed to a casual lender such as a friend or a family member.2.

In previous years there would always be 2-3 multi family properties available in my areas and I’ve only seen 1 new listing for 5 months now.

Heck, I even find joy in it when a squirrel eats a hole through the kitchen ceiling, the fire alarm blasts for no reason, and the tenant's kid secretly turns off the "do not turn off" switch to the heater, necessitating an emergency call to the electrician.Three years after retiring from freelance writing, I'm looking for my next act.

I'm working for a family run real estate investment company and we are starting to expand into the DFW area from OKC.

I have become interested in signal family rental to supliment my income when retire in the next 10 yrs.

But back to reality...I have a family member who has basically inherited and let a duplex and triplex go completely to pot.

My lender packaged and sold my mortgage, and when I called the new servicer to inquire about a HELOC/ Home Equity Loan they told me I wasn't eligible because of my short ownership duration.I am planning to pay for most of the improvements with cash I have on hand from my W2 job, but I want to get something set up in case of an emergency repair/ use towards other investment opportunities.

I’m an eager new investor working on getting my first single family househack.
