hey @Daniel Kenney. thanks for the thoughts!

unfortunately that hack isn't something i can swing w my current stage in life. not even 2y into a new mortgage, wife + kids, etc. all constrain me from going that route.

but yes, definitely avoiding the too-good-to-be-true types. if it's overly damaged or in areas w moderate or more crime ratings then i don't even bother looking.

at this point i'm not worried about getting good cashflow so much as get over the hump of the fear, the knowledge gap, etc on this first one in order to get the feet wet.

how/where did you start out?

thanks all.

@Ingrid J., yup! I'm looking into multi-family units. Likely starting with 2-4 units per risk aversion on the first loan I undertake. Not sure how far up the unit ladder I'd like to climb at this point. The larger unit = larger profit deal sounds nice, but more units/money more problems maybe, so we'll see after the first few smaller multi's get done. Right now the goal is to get 1 investment property under the belt next year. 

What is your niche?

Thanks, Trexie!
