I am currently living in Missouri; I have one house rented out and am planning on getting more. My question is while I was looking on redfin, I found a big 14-unit buildings that is for sale around $3 Million. I never applied for a Unit that big and was wondering if I should try to get a loan (even though I don't get much income right now). and if how what is the process, is there a way to get the loan without putting money down, etc. the only reason I am asking this is I have no experience in this and it practically me jumping from one house to a 14-unit and am trying to figure out if this is a right move. 

Thank You

I just finally got my house set and approved to be rented.

I am in the military, and wanted to live in the house (house hacking) while it was being rented. However I found out that since I am Moving (because of orders) I had to accomplish this task a different way, I contacted my rental agent and got an application approved for a tenet to move in within to weeks. The price the tenet pays me leave me with a decent cash flow of about 500 after all payments have be calculated.

I am excited to say that I finally Got my first house approved and rented. This is a first step of many.

I am still recently new to real estate. I am however close to getting my first house. Now I know most people will manage there own house for a while, and since I am living in that house for the first year I was thinking of that. I however was wondering what good property managers there are around my area. I work nights and most of the time am not home. So managing a home could possibly be problem. I am Waldorf Maryland and want to know what good managers are out there? Does anyone have and references I can look into. Thank you.

Thank you for the heads up on the event that is coming up. I just discovered though that through work I won’t be there. I would love to know however if you know of an event that is taking place on Monday or Tuesday because those are my off days.

So I am in the middle of buying my first home. I discovered a home that seems to have everything I need to start off (lower price then what’s it worth, everything updated).However I do have a question in which I love to receive you advice on. This home is an older model but the previous owner remodel it completely, so not much work on my end. However it did get foreclosed and I did look at it but the building uses a private/community septic pump and am wondering if it’s a good idea to buy a house with a septic tank or not? You advice would be helpful.

Thank you

I just arrived in Waldorf, MD and am in the process of looking for and buying a house to start house hacking and renting out to the public. My question is that I just started, I need help, hints and advice. I am asking if there is any events that are open within the surrounding area that you might know is beneficial for a new comer like me. I have looked at the events page, but is seems to be all the more confusing to me, I would love to hear your advice on what events (if there are more then one) is the best for me.

So once you buy or looking for a house how can one estimate appreciation and equity on a property

Thank you all for seeing and reading this post. I am new to real estate and haven't/Still looking for my first duplex or property to invest in. I just finished reading "How to Invest in Real Estate" by Joshua Dorkin and Brandon Turner, and am interested in getting started in real estate. I am currently in the military and in between moving bases. I am to be in Maryland in a few months and wanted to know if there are any real estate Investor in that area that would be willing help give some advise to a beginner on what to look for, in what areas should I stay away from, and what's the best approach to investing in that area, etc. any advice would be helpful. Thank you.

So I am still in the process of looking for a good real estate opportunity, and I am thinking of it being a duplex. So my question is what if you buy a place that has both rooms filled with tenets? My though would let them be and enjoy the cash flow, however peer my VA loan I have to live in the house, so my question is how do you remove or evict a tenet once you buy the place and what forms must I use?

I am about to buy my first home (depending on how much the loan allows) and am wondering when is the best time to get a real estate license. I am currently reading “how to invest in Real Estate” and it says I don’t need it starting off. So I am not going to worry about that. My question is latter done the line, when is the best time to get the license? After one house, two, three...?
