I’m looking to establish equity and purchase my family a home in the neighborhood we’ve been renting in for the past 7 years.

Hello everyone, I am currently thinking about investing in a property in Louisville Kentucky and would like to know if this is a good starting point?

"analysis paralysis" is a term created by people selling things to get you to buy so they can make money off your purchase. 

Hi,Which is good market around 3-4 hours from Atlanta to purchase duplex around 150k budget.

It would be nice to have more information on the purchase and HELOC first.

Taking that step shows you’re serious about building a long-term, sustainable investment strategy, and it’s great to see you already focused on financial security through real estate.As you evaluate financing options for your first investment property, there are a few key considerations:LLC vs. personal name: Depending on your goals and how you’re structured financially, there are trade-offs between purchasing in your personal name (access to better financing terms) versus through your LLC (asset protection and flexibility with certain loan types).Loan strategy: Many first-time investors start with a conventional loan, which offers strong terms if your personal credit and income qualify.

If the original property was owned jointly by you and your spouse, and the new property is purchased by an LLC, the IRS may view that as a change in taxpayer unless the LLC is treated as a disregarded entity (like a single-member LLC or a two-member LLC owned by spouses in a community property state)Hope that helps!

If you don’t know how much capital you can raise, how do you know what purchase price you can pay?

Purchase price: $230,500 Cash invested: $47,000 small & easy cash flow duplex

Purchase price: $310,000 Cash invested: $60,000 My first 4 plex where i came to the table with 20% down.
