If the numbers work for you with his terms, then pull the trigger.

That being said, if you keep your eyes out and are ready to pull the trigger, you could scoop something up well within your budget.

I'm learning, so don't be too harsh on me :)  Thanks all!

I know the location of where my house is in demand as I have had many inquiries, even without photos of the room, but I haven’t pulled the trigger because I don’t want to bring the wrong person in and end up in small claims or worse for negligence.Any tips, or recommendations would be extremely helpful.

in case you're ready to pull the trigger on the next one.With interest rates this low, your monthly payments are probably not as large as you think, and your net income may not be that much greater.

I've looked at several places over that way and just never pulled the trigger on anything.

Some companies do it well with stock market triggers that allow them to break the lease, but soo many people lack the sophistication or knowledge to keep risk low when leasing multiple properties.

I think once I actually get closer to pulling to trigger on a property, I'll need to look more into being a landlord.

I buy these places because Pittsburgh has magnificently bad weather and my business model requires that I keep them in the portfolio and running for years.Perhaps what this disaster in Texas reveals most about rental real estate investors as a group is our over-reliance on housing inspectors who tell us very little about the suitability of buildings to bear up under harsh conditions, our over-reliance on numbers analysis and ignorance of basic construction fundamentals, our over-reliance on long-distance investing business models that leave us practically helpless when things really go bad for our properties and our tenants.

Step one:  Find an awesome agent like @Brie Schmidt (NW side of Chicago) or @Eudith Vacio (NW Indiana & W side of Chicago.Step two:  Talk to an awesome lender like @Zack Karp or @Michael FacchiniStep three:  Let your rockstar team, guide you in the right direction (i.e, location, purchase price, etc.)Getting into real estate is tough which is why most people end up not pulling the trigger.
