Looking for like-minded newbies, potential private lenders (of course), contractor referrals, wholesalers who dont mind sharing their tips and golden nugget, and most of all people with experience.

Got any cost effective general contractors or other Tips?

Thanks for the tips!

I realize some of these questions might be answered by my attorney, but I'd just like to know if anyone has any tips for dealing with divorce properties. 

@Chace FraserHey chance,Thanks for the tip.

I’ve identified my first multi-unit buy & hold property and plan to make an offer this week, fingers crossed everything goes well.With this multi-unit I’m required to put $40k down (25%), so going to have to take a $15k loan from a family member, paid back at 5% interest over 3 years.I’ll cash flow $200 total after mortgage and personal loan pay down, which will bump up to $600 after 3 years.

I'm not sure how old you are but you must recall college life, particularly off campus living. just a few concerns:  furnished units have to be covered on your insurance which will effect your premium.you gotta be mindful of damages to the furniture in addition to the rest of the place. not everyone will havesticky fingers but be prepared for the occasional theft during transition at the student occupied units. the bedbug epidemic comes into play particular with the more traffic. again, its my coin. feel free to disagree.kudos,Mary

Any tips, advice, insight, or experience that you have to share would be helpful to me and anyone else who finds their way to this post!

Any other tips/suggestions on how to determine good rental locations in particular?
