I am now about to close on a single family rental property in Philadelphia.

I am looking at single family homes, student rentals or duplexes at the moment. 

I currently own a single log truck and operate it myself the over head is to high.

I would go with single families or duplexes to begin with.Buy something that needs very little work or no work at all just to get a feel for it.

Direct mail is a good way but you're going to have to send thousands of mailers every single month.

Hey there,I'm brand new to investing in real estate and thinking about getting into multifamily properties.I'm looking for some advice from people who know what they're doing and was hoping that someone may be able to help me here.I've done some homework and educated myself to a point but I don't know anyone with real estate knowledge so I keep telling myself it can't be done (hopefully someone on here will tell me otherwise) Here is my situation: $300,000 in equity from a Single family residence$100,000 cash to investNo limitations on which state to buy in Thanks,Peter Knox

I am brand new to residential RE investing having only bought 2 six BR single family homes set up for student housing.  

I'm in Syracuse too and I own a few singles in addition to managing a few more.

I have a single family house in Cottonwood Heights that I am renting out the top and living in the bottom.

@Caleb Heimsoth, for single family homes?
