@Stephen Morton read if you cant wholesale after this then i got nothing for youbasic tldr is 1. find a title/escrow company/attorney2. make a buyers list3. find sellersyou want to have everything set up before you find houses so that everything goes smoothly and you know what criteria your buyers would want. cuts down on a lot of the guesswork

I have a tenant ready to go but I'm having trouble getting clear-cut answers.Thanks in Advance Guys!

If you're looking to get into rentals, maybe a better idea is to start a little smaller home wise and cash-out refinance the big house to buy 1 or 2 smaller homes to cut your teeth on?

There are lots of other things that need to happens before checks are cut.

Since purchasing the house, we have put a little over $2,300 into repairs -- things like plumbing issues, new refrigerator, cutting down tree limbs, ect.

So are offer was verbally accepted and we should have the paperwork today to move forward on a 2 unit 2br /1bath duplex. 232kUnit 1 has tenants paying $1100/m they cut the grass, shovel snow and have been there 11years.

Also, if economic conditions take a downturn will I have to cut rent.

@Lamont Marable - cut my teeth in Baltimore over 15 years ago after getting started in Capitol Heights.

Joining the military is a career choice not a short cut to real estate investing.

Only recently have I cut back so I can funnel extra cash to purchase buy and hold real estate.
