That house could easily be divided into a three bedroom one bathroom apartment unit and a second unit that is one bedroom one bathroom.

I know a great title company in NJ, and a few great lawyers please PM if you are interested.

We pay 1400 in mortgage and rent it out for 1700 (which is VERY low for the area and we will be charging $1900-2100 next year, we were just in a rush to rent this time around).This year we bought the house we live in and owe 250k and it's worth about 296,000.I am 30 years old, and a stay at home mom.

What worked for you, personally, not exaggerating and saying you started flat broke, but you were working a $100k job, like really start with nothing but persistence and a goal.

Way more questions.I also would like to know if you have reliable contractors and a handy man????

However, given that we’re both military and a couple other circumstances, we have a bit more capital than a typical young-20s couple to invest so are also looking to buy a multi family (ideally quad or tri-plex) property that we can do some light rehab on and start cash flowing.

One day I came home from work, and a neighbor told me that the repairmen had been on the roof, working on the unit again.

We leave an offer and let the seller think, because ours are low offers and usually a disappointment to the seller.We've had many people call back 3, 6, 12 months later and a number call back 18 months later or more.

Investors who shunned flood zones (many initially ONLY invested in Flood Zone X) are now flipping in Flood Zones, such A and AE. 

Hey all,I want to share with you a problem I encountered and a solution I came up with.I am using the MLS as one of the sources of my deals searching.While the MLS is great, it doesn't offer me as an investor any filtering options, or actually any other 'advanced' option rather than viewing the listings.So, in the past few weeks I've been working hard on a solution for my problem and I am happy to share that I have a first working test version!
