I'm meeting with him this weekend to ask some questions on how to get started and be successful at it. 

You will be working a lot - nights, weekends, lunch breaks, etc., so their support will reinforce your drive.

Long story short, I should have a second place ready to rent by 10/15 at the absolute latest (im expecting 10/7 or 10/10).For those number people that noticed I rented the first one for "way more" than I expected, I went and re-thought my BRRRR calculation over the weekend.

I don't know how much of that you can learn in a weekend with your buddy.Unless your buddy is willing to partner or mentor you through a fix & flip, I would suggest looking at a few SFRs and duplexes, maybe ones that are already rented or don't require too much rehab. 

I will end up putting about $20,000 into it before I'm done (about $42,500 total) - I've replaced the furnace, water heater, and windows aside from repainted, remodeled the bathroom (completing this weekend), replaced all light fixtures, and remodeling the kitchen, . 

My brother and I are flying to Jacksonville next weekend to do some field research.We are looking to purchase our first income generating rental property!

Hello everyone,I hope the weekend is going well with you all.We are working on completing our team, and we are now looking for recommendations for a good real state lawyer in NY, that can offer all the services needed in the RE transactions.Any good recommendation will be very appreciated.Thank you,   And happy deal closing.James TaylorBlue Robin Homes, LLC

After reading Rich Dad Poor Dad, I kicked my financial education into gear, taking control of my personal cashflow management for the first time ever, and began to develop a much greater sense of financial purpose beyond 'pay rent / buy stuff'.Towards the end of 2011 I started my first commercial business, a catering company that targeted week or weekend long music festivals in Australia.

I just closed on a property in West Knox and will be out there to furnish it this weekend. 

I spend my days working as an Engineering Technician in NW Portland and my nights and weekends renovating my first real estate investment, a 1930 cottage.
