I want to to post something (later tonight when I get near the book) I am reading where the author says it is extremely difficult to use traditional financing for multiple buy and hold properties, unless you already have an extremely high income.

Two positive reports in the paper this week mentioned the tightening of the available housing market (in part due to CA investors and Central TX job growth) and increased appraisals (16%) in Travis County (Austin) and up to 12% in Williamson.

I am Wade Ogletree, the article's original author.

It must be signed by all owners, and buyer, or one party must have authority to bind the other owners, it must set a date for the transfer to occur, that can be on or before, and it must have the consideration.It would be best to include matters like they must convey good title and provide title insurance, proration of taxes/rent, and what personal property stays and what goes.

I concur with @Brett Russell ... best book ever written for rehabers to determine rehab cost.hile you're at it I would also highly recommend buying " the book on flipping houses" by the same author.

I have thoroughly enjoyed Landlording on Autopilot (author escapes me at the moment).

The author also teaches a course on negotiation at a major university.

Is there a big market for buying,reselling,or renting in central Florida are?

However, I am willing to move and make a commute to work each day in order to get started in real estate investing now.I would like to be able to get to grand central terminal within ~45-60 minutes, and would be looking to purchase a 2-4 unit (hopefully 4) multifamily where I could live in one unit.

I like to vet each tenant and have a clear lease with everyone authorized to occupy the unit.
