New to Real Estate in Richland, WA

[Sam McPeek]

Hey all- I am brand new to the world of Real Estate investing and I'm looking forward to learning and discovering ways to start out.

When my wife and I were looking for our first house, I convinced her that we needed to buy a duplex...and she agreed. We bought the ugliest one on the block, paid 10K too much and started in on a 1 year complete rebuild of the building. We currently live on one side of the duplex, and the other side has not been finished...BUT we are planning on getting it finished by May. We also added on a garage to our unit with a 530 sq. ft. room above. Both are unfinished, but we would like to turn that room into another unit down the road.
