Hi Amanda, I inherited a property in Patchogue that my parents had bought 20 years ago.

I first ran this comparison against one of my parents rentals where they have had the same renter for 5 years. 

For example Business Structure in my case- I have an S-Corporation that serves as the parent company, each new property is an LLC under the parent S-corp..again you will have to consult your CPA etc.

I grew up in DC area and had my parents there, so it was fairly easy for me.

I'm 29, married, with a newborn, and planning on having another child by 2015.

My parents live in Boerne and I've always been quite curious to know how the wholesaling and flip market fare in Boerne.

The section 8 tend to have a more (parent,child) relationship with their case workers where they yell, scream, and complain to get what they want but never learn life lessons to start fending for themselves.Physically the tenants might be a certain age but mentality their growth arrested a long time ago.I am not saying all section 8 Is bad.

Hi everybody,I'm really excited to join BiggerPockets which I found out about through investfourmore.comI've a full time job at a consulting firm in downtown Houston, however I'm trying to get into REI part-time.My wife and I currently have 2 rentals - one in medical center and other in downtown houston.Originally from India, my parents always taught me to save and invest in real estate whenever I could.

It is weird to think that 2 months ago i was in this town looking at a P.O.S. 3 plex house, now it appears our first purchase (with high end trustworthy consulting) is going to be a 40plex in the same town that i scoffed at the idea of before (parents are buying 50% of the project, i didn't have that much cash around).Sorry this is a generic statement, just excited at the potential.ND
