There is a large scale project going down that was bought by a Fortune 200 company in my home area that will bring in thousands of jobs and will inevitable make the appreciation skyrocket.

I like the idea of a mix - with a smaller capital contribution being my buy-in and then a second larger amount for funding the first deal being a loan that will get paid back to me over time - over say, 5 years.

It's important to analyze what went wrong to avoid making the same mistake again.I see a lot of new investors spend their very last dime purchasing a rental, then they have no money available to cover unforeseen events like what you experienced.

I just purchased 2 4 plex, and sent out a 60 day notice to increase rents.

Thank you to all in advanceCarlos near east side is on fire. we are building two triplexes in 43203. there are plenty of new builds, variance requests, at least 800 units going in to this small submarket over the next few years, very strong market. any downtown adjacent within 1.5 miles is where our focus is. higher rents, higher price per square foot exit, plenty of land to purchase right now, total control in new construction.

Keep in mind if you are looking to purchase a primary residence, credit score plays a greater role in access to credit.

Worth area for purchasing your future investment properties.

Hi BiggerPockets Community,I've got 200,000 earmarked for investment, and I'm looking to dive into the BRRRR, or the Fix and Flip strategies, My focus is rather on a few smaller properties in upstate New York—think Orange, Sullivan, Delaware, Ulster counties, and the scenic Borscht Belt,Any tips or recommendations?

I  took this information and added it to our purchase process considerations.
