Being a landlord - the reality

Screen tenants carefully. A bad tenant costs more than a vacant month. Credit checks, references, and a firm lease are non-negotiable.

Buy a duplex, live in one side, rent the other. The tenant pays most of your mortgage. Best first move for new investors.

I second this recommendation. Have been using it for months.

The fixer-upper math

Purchase price plus rehab cost must leave room under the after-repair value. Always pad your repair budget by 20%.

My setup is slightly different but I adapted this advice and it worked great.

Run the numbers cold: mortgage, taxes, insurance, vacancy, repairs. If it does not cash flow on paper, it wont in reality.

I had given up on this entirely and your post got me to try again. Glad I did.

Bring cash, do your homework, and never bid on a property you have not researched. Title issues can ruin a "great deal."

I asked the same thing in another group and got way worse answers. You all rock.

Adding to this: you can also try a different approach that worked for me...
