, find out about BP, become obsessed and listen to podcasts during all free times, read books/blogs/articles, latch onto different strategies and come up with plans to execute and do nothing (repeat 5x), realize you can't "boil the ocean", and then take a step back, break down the to do list in an executable fashion and move forward.

I think you’ll enjoy the next steps.

Context:As a new, bright-eyed, soon-to-be real estate investor in multi-family properties I want to be aggressive in building up a portfolio to where the rental income would allow me to step away from my full-time W2 job within the next few years.

It is possible to do both as long as you meet the criteria required to obtain each loan, AND you adhere to the owner occupancy requirement for each loan.This is what BPers like to call house hacking, and it is a very smart strategy of building a portfolio with the least amount of out of pocket investment.Now, step back for a blown mind moment......ask your lender about the FHA 203K or 203B renovation loan that allows you to rehab a property using an FHA loan in which FHA allows you to finance the rehab expenses

If it needs a total make over what is the Step by step process on where to start, where should i tackle first and what should be my last project in the home?

side note: I've been selling real estate for 13 years now and finally stepped out of fear and pulled the trigger on this one (and another just like it) in January of 2017.View report*This link comes directly from our calculators, based on information input by the member who posted.

Welcom, @Kory AttlesonCongratulations on taking the first steps!

The next step is to properly serve the tenant. 

I'm at the tail end of doing both RE and another career for about 13 months, about to step into being a full time Realtor. 

My next step is to find out who is the owner of these properties.
