Hi, i'm looking for a great real estate agent, that works with investors, to help me get going. if you know of one that can help plz let me know thanks! I don't know what kind of info you would need from me to help find a good agent but just ask and ill try and get it asap.

I would like to get as many properties cash flowing as possible so I can reinvest that in to more properties... But at some point I understand it gets harder to acquire more? 

Thanks for the advice on the other post Grant I was thinking the same thing with no money down being a great opportunity to get the cash on cash % way UP. I do need to find a great real estate agent I will do that asap thanks Nick. 

Wow thanks for all the great advice!  I like the idea of doing both haha I don't really see the downside of that if I get it going. Now just to find the right property right? 

Thanks @Melody Everett-Neddo I'm super excited to get this going! I cant stop reading books and watching videos on rentals. I love TC its one of Michigan's most beautiful areas for sure!

Hey BP, just getting started in this journey and I would love some assistance. So, my situation is confusing me a bit and I don't know what way to go with it. I bought my house back in 2015 with a VA loan for 89k and I've been making extra payments on it to pay it down faster. I'm down to under 84k and my homes value is up to almost 94k. so I have a bit of equity but not a bunch. I have gotten a new job making over double my old income so I can pay off my home much faster or invest the extra money, I'm not sure what the best move is I want to get my first rental property this year.

I just found out I can actualy get a SECOND VA home loan if I live in it for at least a year, thats not a problem I work on the road so im never home. I was thinking of getting a duplex or 4plex with the VA loan but I would have to get a MINUMUM 144k loan, I was planing on getting a property in the 50k - 80k range before I found out I could get another VA loan... So I guess my question is, what is the better choice? take the 144k no money down VA loan and get a nicer property or get a convetional loan and put down the 20- 25%? Sorry for the long post, thanks for the help!

Small world! @Andrew Kerr I was just looking at a quadplex in Bay City but I'm not sure if that's a good area to buy in right now... I see a lot of stuff for sale...

Hi all! My name in Ruary, I live in Midland, MI I bought my first Home back in 2015 With my VA home loan and now I am ready to get in to the real estate investment market. I want to get my first rental this year "hopefully a duplex or triplex". I work all over the US and I am hardly ever home. I have been reading books and watching tons of youtube videos on real estate, I'm excited to get it going. I have questions on what I can do from here and what my best options are to move forward, from what I understand this is the best place to look for my answers. Thanks in advance for all the help in advance!
