If then pay off the initial investors and cash out and remaining equity for a new deal.

Thinking as an investor: getting a good return on my initial investment 3 years earlier than projected is a win.

My ultimate goal is to invest in real estate but I am having trouble gaining initial traction and identifying which steps will be the most instrumental in fulfilling this objective.

I’ve found that people on BP are incredibly friendly and willing to help.Besides surrounding yourself with the right people, the two initial and essential members of your professional team will be a lender and a realtor.

Tenant filed this about 15 days after the initial filing of rent escrow to court.At hearing, tenant presented his side, then mine was presented (pictures, receipts, more pictures from pre-court inspection) by an attorney and tenant was then offered by PM opportunity to break his lease now, he did not accept, and stated he wants to remain at residence.

I initially thought like most retail buyers would and considered selling it but instead I’d love to keep it and move it to my asset column (Rich Dad reference...). 

It will take some studying the area and initial travel.   

I am a new investor living in NYC and am looking to determine my farm area so I can begin investing.When I initially started my research, I thought I would farm in Northern New Jersey - Bergen, Hudson, Essex and Union counties - but as I continued researching I've found that inventory is low and competition is high, making the barrier of entry for a new investor very challenging. 

Being in a residential space will definitely save you on property tax margins oppose to commercial at least initially.

But it helps to have an understanding when I am buying to at least be able to have an intelligent initial conversation with a seller.
