Jimmy, get licensed it's easier to have access to the MLS, and if you do Florida lease options you act as a principal and not as an agentAlso search " lease options Brian Gibbons " on this site and you learn a few things about lease-options 

I know when I think back to my years as a young renter in Wisconsin, my dream was to have garage access.

I plan to access the equity, about 60k, thru a Cash Out Refi to a conventional.

You need to know for that local market if the going lease rate for a retail space of 6,000 sq ft is 10,12 a sq ft etc. to know how discounted the tenants proposed rent is.Some tenants each year on rental increases will try to BLOCK it.

She told me that they have access to numerous private lenders and essentially act as a PL and HML broker.  

The engineers said that we will need access to our neighbor's sewer easement.  

I have not found a single family house but would look to spend around $350k with a 20% down payment.The multi family house I have found and am considering purchasing is a duplex that is outlined below:Asking Price: $500,000Loan DetailsDown payment: $100,000Loan Amount: $400,000Interest Rate: 4%Loan Duration: 30 yearsRent RollUnit #1: $2,500 (owner occupied)Unit #2: $2,000Annual ExpensesTaxes: $17,500Insurance: $2,500Other: $12,000Capital Expenses: $40,000The duplex is located near NYC, one block from the train station so it is both convenient for me and should be no problem to rent.My questions are listed below: At what purchase price does this duplex make sense for a buy and hold strategy?

Getting your license gives you access to the mls system to evaluate properties easily. 

hey guys, I wanted to see if someone who has been around the block  can offer some insight.I have been house hacking my rental for the past 4 years but have recently moved out and am legitimizing it working with a prop manager and such.one thing that has crossed my mind is when I switch my house insurance from owner occupied to rental, they will be performing an inspection and im a little bit anxious of my roof.My shingles and ply boards were changed not too long ago however the joists are warped due to the house being a 1920s.

I have access to literally thousands of absentee owners and it gets overwhelming real quick.Im trying to narrow my search so i am focusing on those out of state.Is there anything else or any other criteria i could use to narrow my search to make my marketing more effective?
