If you intend to buy and hold study, know and fully understand all state landlord/tenant regulations before you buy your first property.Other than that my best advice is you need money to make money.

with a long term hold investment,(Rental) I did come upon this in Zillow of course, " Amatuer" lol, but do cross reference whatever I see with many other sources which probably are just variations of same. 

Maybe not right away, maybe not for a long time but eventually you will get burned and if you get burned on a property 2,000 miles away everything is more expensive because you are paying someone like me to do it for you and I do not work for free.Investors with small portfolios need to know that they can afford to cover the holding costs of the properties when there is no rental income.

Account Closed  As of today I have only stayed in the Keller area(Buy and Hold), however we do have one house left over in So.

Turns out I sucked at flipping houses but I'm pretty good at rehabbing multi-unit properties and then holding them long-term, as a landlord.The most important lesson I can share is "you make your money when you buy the property".  

I'd love to chat more to get a better idea of what you are looking for (type of neighborhood, assets available, timeline, desired return..) as well as what why you are investing (buy/hold short or long term or rehab/flip).  

Buy and hold rentals is what I'm thinking, but if a flip were to make sense, I'd be interested.

Hi All,I have a potential deal in Memphis, TN for a long-term buy and hold duplex (3 bed, 2 bath each side) that I'm a bit torn on (running into some paralysis analysis) and would love your thoughts!

I live in Vacaville, CA (near Sacramento) and I'm looking to do some house hacking and rent out a room or two to get my first investment property and most likely hold it as a rental property.Thanks!

Has any experience purchasing buy and hold properties there.
