It's been a little while since I have made any posts on this site.

Well because I could not commit to acquiring my first property with the remaining time in the year, I’ve committed to analyzing 2 deals a day to post on the forums here.It will allow me to gain knowledge and advice from experienced investors and also give other investors like myself (or soon to be investors I guess) an opportunity to contribute as well.Even if they haven’t done any deals, they may know how to avoid common mistakes while analyzing that they’ve learned since they’ve started on their path to REI.I know it may not be much, but I’m really hoping that others in my position feel inspired to contribute more than the normal “Hi I’m a new investor looking to learn from everyone here on the site” and those more experienced are still willing to share their experiences.Thanks everyone.With that being said:Property #12-unit Property in Queens, NYEach unit is a 2br/1baAnticipated gross rents: $3.8k/moOperating expenses (per month):- Vacancy: $190- Repairs/Maintenance: $35- Taxes: $300- Insurance: $133.33- Property Management: $190 (did this at 5% of gross rents because I can manage the property myself but I’d like to set aside a portion in case it makes sense to transition to management).

I look for properties than I research them through country sites, maybe make a few phone calls.

There's a lot of area not covered.Is there a way to do this, or were these sub-forums created at the beginning of this site and therefore are set this way going forward permanently?

I would look at Set for Life by @Scott Trench as a starting point, then do a deep dive into house hacking here on the site. 

It's more about the performance of the Asset itself and the number of partners you need to buy it.As an example, let's say Buyer A can buy a property for $100k.

I'll most likely be 1031 exchanging into a larger apt community OOS - where I will have on-site and a PM and it won't be 'my baby'.

That might help decide the type of property your going to live in, the price range, and where.When you thought you were starting the mortgage process you most likely went to lead generation sites.

Looking forward to growing my network on this site!
