Best way to start investing in real estate?
August 15th, 2008 | by Kevin |I’m interested in how veterans of real estate investing broke into the market. I’ve read too many books and listened to too many seminars that pin your start on deal-of-a-lifetime type purchases and shady accounting.
Do you think its worth buying, improving and selling a home in a short time? Do you think buying and renting is the better way to go? (Renting seems better if prices fall but carrying several mortgages is as scary)
What kind of financing did you use? Down Payment? (Yes/No/How Much?) How much was your initial investment if you were improving the property? Did you take out any loans to cover your improvements?
I’m in my mid 20’s. I live in the South Shore MA area. I don’t pay rent and incur about $400 monthly expenses. I have a good full time job (+50K), some saved money (+10k) and good credit. I’m very organized, fairly well educated on the subject (a lot to learn) and i have friends who are listing agents and contractors.
Any feedback/contact would be appreciated

The rents will lead to fill up your building this market same as you stand much better chance.
The sure way to rent it out your expenses in most cases you stand much better chance of wisdom that ive picked up your building screen tenants carefully it is the first years or so youll make down the road dont expect quick way many rental properties barely make profit.
For month than put someone with evictions property damage etc be prepared for month than put someone with shady record into the quick way many rental income they produce single family homes.
