i am currently in college and our landlord is a big time real estate investor in the cleveland area... i live with 5 other friends and our landlord made us each sign our own lease and pay our rent separately.

Hope it helps

hey dave,
although i dont have many of my own properties i know my father hires general contractors and then pays them by the job and not the hour (many will milk the clock).

Landon S. how did you have the money to buy a house in college?... did you take out a loan or have a private investor?

Thanks alot for your input.
Definitely would only live in the duplex for a couple years and then move on.

thanks landon,
off campus is renting is quite expensive because i am located in a nice suburb. i've thought about buying a home and renting it to other students but at this point the money isn't there. most of the homes are 100k plus.

Thanks alot Brian,
I did not know about the 2 year landlording experience

After gradutation for college i am looking to get right into the real estate world focusing on investing and flipping.

Currently i am wondering if it is smarter to buy a duplex as my first home and rent the second part of the home (leaving me rent free) or to buy a single and start saving to buy my first flipper?

let me know the benefits, thanks.
