@Joe Henry@Jake Stenziano

Hi Joe

You should have access to the entire structure and to the apartments.  You can't perform proper due diligence if you can't see "everything".  Just remember, those tenants are going to be your tenants, so if they're giving you problems before you take over, buyer beware.

With a complete report, you can then move forward.

@Garrett Hayes

Good luck Garrett.  You're in the right place.     Don't wait to start.  Pick a niche and educate yourself and dive right in

I started part time and am transitioning full time.  It can be done.

Good luck!

@Frank S.

Hi Frank,

My issue with the book is that there is no framework that an investor can follow.  There are no strategies to follow or advice, just go get your education.  Most investors credit the book with being able to look at investing in a different light, such as your home is not an asset.  Rich Dad is notorious for upsetting into other products, and some are pretty good.  I did enjoy the book and had my oldest children read it as an introduction to basic investing principles.

@Seth Larson

Hi Seth

Great way to get in a deal.  You are truly using OPM.  Your mother's equity in her home is dead, and you are using to purchase a cash flowing appreciating asset.  Great way to start.  There are other ways, but if this gets you in the game, then I would do it.

I have used my HELOC as down payment money, and when i refinanced the property, I paid back the HELOC.

Good Luck

Gino
