From time to time I get asked how I got started buying rental property. Well in this blog post I want to share a little bit about my first real estate investment purchase.
From the first decision to invest in real estate to actually buying your first rental property, there is a lot of work to be done. This task may be daunting for the first-time investor. Owning property is a tough business and the field is peppered with land mines that can obliterate your returns.
My First Rental Property
Here is a picture of the very first rental property I purchased. It was a little two bed room house located in Rolla, Missouri. I believe it was less than 1000 sq ft and built in like 1950,
A common mistake for beginning investors is to believe that you have to buy a big (spacious), costly and newer home or else families looking to rent a home will not rent your house.
This is simply not true! You don’t have to purchase your “dream house” for your first or subsequent investment property.
The most important thing is to take an unbiased approach to all the properties and neighborhoods within your investing range.
So what is the average tenant looking for before they rent a home?
Most tenants are looking for the following: Affordability (rent price), good neighborhoods (safe), schools, jobs and amenities (malls, gyms, movie theaters, public transport hubs). So if your home has decent outward appearance (not falling apart), well maintained yard, and on the inside it has nice carpet, appliances, paint job then there is a strong chance that you will be able to rent your property fairly quickly.
Top 3 Things To Consider Before Buying Your First Rental Property
So what should you consider before buying your first rental property?
There are several things you should consider but in my opinion these are the top three:
1) The physical property, 2) neighborhoods, and 3) potential cash flow.
The Property
In general, the best investment property for beginners is a residential, single-family dwelling or a condominium. Single-family homes tend to attract longer-term renters. Mainly because families are generally better tenants than one person is because they are more likely to be financially stable and pay the rent regularly. As a landlord, you want to find a property and a neighborhood that is going to attract that type of demographic.
Neighborhoods
The quality of the neighborhood in which you buy will influence both the types of tenants you attract and how often you face vacancies. For example, if you buy in a neighborhood near a university, the chances are that your pool of potential tenants will be mainly made up of students and that you will face vacancies on a fairly regular basis (during summer, when students tend to return back home).
Cashflow
When you have the neighborhood narrowed down, look for a property that has appreciation potential and a good projected cash flow. After all the whole reason your are investing in real estate is to make money and build wealth, right?
Lets go back to my first purchase (above), the original owner was asking $39K for it and I purchased it for $32K.
Difference in $: 7,000.00
Difference in %: 17.95%
So as you can see I purchased the home for almost 20 % below the asking price. I rented the home for $425 a month until I sold it a few years later for $42K (just before the real estate crash).
Whenever you are considering purchasing your first rental property or any investment property you should always do a cash flow analysis. This is how an investor takes a look at how that a property generates cash flow from rental operations.
The main use for doing a detailed analysis is to figure out if your first rental property or any prospective investment property will ‘cash flow’ (Income minus Expenses is greater than Debt Service).
In most cases, investors want positive cash flow but for some properties, you may be willing to put up with a small negative cash flow before taxes.
Just remember when investing you make money when you BUY not when you SELL!”

1. Place thawed chicken breast tenderloin strips in a bowl of milk. Let soak for 20-30 min.
2. Cut 1/2 stick of butter into a few pieces and place in a 9×13 pan. Melt butter in pre-heated oven.
3. Spread melted butter around the bottom of the pan. Lightly spray the pan, if needed, to make sure that there are no dry spots.
4. Shake excess milk off of chicken and completely coat each piece with the seasoning mix. You can either shake the chicken in the bag, until coated, or dip each piece in the bowl until coated.
5. Place each piece of chicken in the pan. Cook for 20 min. Turn each piece of chicken and continue cooking for 20 more minutes, or until cooked through.

Top 50 Places To Leave Your Drop Cards
There you have it!
Of course there are many other places that you can use drop cards, use your imagination and have fun!
Haven’t ordered your drop cards yet? What are you waiting for?
Today I want to share with you another proven way to generate some leads offline.
Dollar bill drop cards or business cards are absolutely the best offline marketing tool to advertise and promote your business. You take the drop cards and put them in places where people will pick it up.
They think they are picking up a hundred dollar bill. Once they realize that it is not a hundred dollar bill they will read what’s on the back out of curiosity. This is a really nice passive way to get interested people looking at your website or calling you.
Drop Cards VS. Business Cards
These drop cards are different than your business card. They are basically a business card, with a classified ad printed on it sending people to a website or sizzle call.
Every network marketer should be dropping these cards, everyday, everywhere they go. The most effective cards we have seen look like $100 bills. These drop cards are viral because people who pick them up, DON’T THROW THEM AWAY, and many times use them to play a joke on a friend, or family member.
I cannot tell you how many times over the years that the person who found the hundred dollar bill drop card didn’t call, but their friend or family member did. Powerful, very powerful and you can order these $100 bill drop cards by clicking the link below.
