I had external accounts set up in both, I can do ACH transfers, but thought it would be nice to have ZellePay set up as well, as backup.At first, it was a no go, used the same email address I used at Citi, and Chase Zelle enrollment said "sorry you already have a Zelle account at Citi".

I did a fair amount of research, and saw gleeming reviews - so it was a no brainer! 

If you are currently paying $1500 it's a no-brainer - get the duplex.

@Matt Groth thank you for putting it in those terms, it's definitely a no brainer when you put it like that!

A no slumlord here.

Do everything you can to leverage your time to gain experience as opposed to looking for the deal or the money right now.Starting out of the gate doing a no money down deal is possible but it's more the exception than the rule in my opinion.If you are already reading and do the research then you don't need much more specific advice you just have to continue taking action every day, and continue working hard to leverage your time, where you can gain experience.There are seemingly endless possibilities to get started, but if you keep seeking knowledge & experience, you will figure out your way to make it work.

I'll only do flips if they are light to moderate rehabs and the numbers make them a no-brainer, but I won't be aggressively looking for deals.No more SFR buy and holds. 

I work with a Cost Segregation company and we do a No Cost Analysis.We have done over 6000 studies in each and every state and we have been involved with Cost Segregation from the very beginning.Our Founder worked with one of the attorneys in the H.C.A. case (which made Cost Segregation Law),but its not about us,its about the Positive Economic Benefit that we have delivered to every one of our Clients over our 10 years of business.I Disagree with an earlier post that says you should not do a study for a building less than 5M.We have developed Processes and Protocols to deliver these studies to the small business owner.A CSSI Study is an engineering analysis that reclassifies or segregates real estate components and improvements between real and personal property in order to accelerate the depreciation periods from 39 or 27.5 years to 15, 7, or 5 years.Most of the time we suggest to run a free analysis on any Commercial or Investment Building with a cost of over $500KBy getting the numbers UPFRONT, it makes this a "Business Decision" and not a "Sales Pitch"

I even knew one individual prior to going into real estate and it was still a no go because it wouldn't benefit them.

This should be a no brainer...
