This property right behind me was my first ever investment, and it's where my wife and I lived for 2 years and where we had our first daughter. After moving out of it, we decided to rent it, and now it cash flows monthly for us. For all the young door-to-door reps, make your first purchase ideally a townhome. They rent incredibly well. You can move out of it and move into a larger home once you start having more kids. This right here is the second property I ever purchased in real estate, a duplex out here in my city, Winder.
