Congrats on taking the first step and getting out there!

What steps do you take after finding a deal that makes sense after analyzing with the rental calculator?

My main goal in life is to achieve financial freedom for me and my partner so we can do the things we want to. ( I have thought about seller financing, lease options etc but I've never spoken to someone who has done these)The properties around here are amazing especially the duplexes and triplexes since where I'm from you do not see these.Just to make this as clear as possible I just wanted to hear from someone my best step to take.

All you'd be doing trying to change their lives is making your life harder.Take a look at these steps below.These are steps from one of the properties in my portfolio.

I think a multifamily would be the next step.

Maybe your first step should be to have a home inspection (as you would with any property purchase) to get an idea of what is actually needed.  

A conversation with the underwriter would be my next step to see what they would accept

Hey @Amanda Louise Sanchez, congrats on setting that goal and also taking precautionary steps to protect for the downside.

And I completely agree with @James Ayers on how great it is that you stepped out of your comfort zone! 

After hearing some podcasts though im getting the idea that i could skip that step and just start investing.
