Quamon began investing in real estate not with the hope of becoming a multimillionaire, but as a means of creating another diverse and stable income stream where he can put money in an asset he has more control over and continue to follow his dreams as a musician.  In his first multifamily acquisition, a duplex in his hometown of Fort Worth, Texas, he learned that working with contractors can be a tricky process if you have never done it before.  When you have renovations or repairs you want to be done, whom should you call?  How do you know if the quotes they are giving you are reasonable?  How do you know the recommended scope of work is reasonable?  Quamon shares his story about the first multifamily duplex he recently bought, including a few words of advice he learned from an experienced lender he met at a real estate networking event.

Advice to Listeners:  Regardless of your start, there is something you will learn in real estate investing every day so you should not let fear deter you from taking action.  Even if you are on the sidelines, you are probably losing money.  The money you have sitting in the bank is depreciating in value.  You are better off putting your money in real estate investments because the long-term trend is appreciation, and everyone needs a place to stay.
