Hi im looking to buy a single family foreclose property as my first home to live in. Where can I get free or close to free information on this. As for liens will I be responsible for it or will it be taken off by the lender prior. Is there anything else I should research on a foreclose property before closing and how do I do that. Im new to all this. I want to make sure i know what to expect before I dodge in. Thanks in advance BP

Hmm some really good tips @Cuong Lee I definitely will listen to the podcast. Yes @Nat Leary education is important. I plan to education abd research then go from there. I think purchasing a duplex/multifamily home is a great way to start investing @Darren Sager and @Joe Fairless but where is the best place to look for property? @Char Prado I haven't heard of OPM yet, how does it work?

Hi is it a good idea to use some of your 401k/403b fund as a down payment on your first real estate property. What are the pros and cons of doing so and finally are there any hefty penalties for doing so.

Hi my name is Jennifer I am reading The Ultimate Beginners Guide to Real Estate Investing which led me to this site. Very informative book I might add! I am interested in investing in NYC property typically multi-family homes but not sure where to start. I am interested in buy and hold, flipping and foreclosure properties. I do not have a lot of start up cash flow but have excellent credit. Can anyone give me any tips on how to get started. Should I start as a passive investor or just go straight for the gusto? Should I just look into multi- family homes or single family home and is it also a good idea to invest outside of NY like NJ or CT. I want to add I work nights and have alternating weekends off. Is real estate investing still possible to achieve? Have lots of questions. Thanks
