im in the same boat as you. only thing holding me back is Knowledge. i have bad credit, no money, but lots of time. i spend my weekends looking at unkept houses and try to find out the situation, maybe i can wholesale it. maybe i can ask my bro to co sign a loan to flip it.

kind of like a co-pay.... paid less than a new disposal, but we won't be renewing.

I have a purchase contract for a property Subject-To existing financing. The contract states that this is how the property will be purchased. Now, the seller doesn't want to do that. They backed out, and said I can on...

I am fortunate enough to not have any school debt or any other debt for that matter, and have been seeking opportunities to invest my money rather than having it rust in my savings account.After talking with one of my co-workers, who happens to be a real estate agent, I've realized that I definitely want to start investing in rental properties.

I've also co-founded a lead incubation pilot call center (a long story for another day).

I am not sure what area I am looking to invest in yet, I am debating being a landlord from afar, and investing in either the Pittsburgh or Colorado Springs area or just hold off and invest in a unit at my next duty station.

@Mark Weinstock browsed is cheaper for sure but just like anywhere you have to look at the area. just to give you guys a heads up. i found a realtor that was my coworker. i can trust her and i feel pretty good that she won't commission hunt on me. by pure luck her brother 20 years ago bought 2 SF and 2 quadplex and he retired a while back just living off the rent. he has been buying and selling other homes for flips. he has decades of experience. hoping he will throw some knowledge my way. there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

If the renters are students, I would recommend having their parents co-sign the lease as well.  

Or do I just ask for a certain amount and then pay the workers as we go?

If you have you Louisiana LLC, you figure out what North Carolina's foreign entity registration is and follow it.I did this using a CO LLC buying property in IA.
