Hello allI’m looking to purchase my first buy and hold rental property and had found a few duplexes that matched what I’m looking for but they are fully occupied and I would need the property vacant to perform the needed upgrades to get it to market level, and to get to proper rent $$ each unit should be making.

They always say the deed owner has to match applicants.

So I had my contractor build a closet and paint to match. 

I've actually had to replace drywall before...sealing and painting was just no match for the big puffer who occupied the house for 50 years. 

Make sure that your toilets handle matches the trim of the faucet if it's not chrome.

You can then decide if real estate is right for you.Take full advantage of your 401k match if you have one. 

Hello,I’m looking to get more information about tax liens and tax deeds for investing with purposes of getting the high interest rates and in some cases the property if the location matches my current market.

It's best to have a large and diverse cash buyers list that can match what you find.

The $300k per acre for site work matches the ~$30,000 per unit I use in running early pro forma analysis as confirmed by competent GCs. 

@Rachel L. whatever mortgage amount you are retiring at closing needs to be matched (equal or greater) in your replacement property(ies).
