Welcome to BP! Given the fact you're in South Carolina, I feel I can offer this piece of advice to you without it coming across as a "pitch" for your business.

When you are about to "throw yourself" into this new endeavor or REI, I would strongly recommend you meet with a mortgage/financial professional first. When you meet with him/her, he/she will ask that you share both your short-term AND your long-term goals. Then, he/she will be able to help you construct a plan that will enable you to reach your short-term goals and reap the benefits needed for the proceeds and resources that your long-term goals will require. All too often, new investors either overdevelop or spend their money too fast - both of these behaviors derail their plans and stops them woefully short. If you don't have a mortgage person yet, I would strongly recommend reaching out to a couple of investors you know in your area and asking them for a referral.

I wish you the very best!

Welcome to BP! Given the fact you're in Oklahoma, I feel I can offer this piece of advice to you without it coming across as a "pitch" for your business.

Welcome to BP!  If and when you come over to Arizona, I would love to connect with you.

Welcome to BP! My only piece of advice I'm qualified to give is mortgage/financing related: as you start this new endeavor, I would strongly recommend sitting down with a mortgage/financial professional and sharing with him/her both your short-term AND long-term goals. He/she will be able to help you construct a plan that will enable you to reach your short-term goals with the resources to sustain you and get you working successfully toward your long-term goals. All too often, new investors either overdevelop or run out of money too quickly - this disables them from reaping the proceeds necessary to make this a long-term sustainable endeavor for them. If you don't have a mortgage professional right now, I would recommend reaching out to a few investors your know and getting them to give you a referral for their favorite (read: one who produces quantifiable results) "money" man or woman. Best of luck!

Even Phoenix's absolutely BEST day doesn't quite stack up to San Diego's WORST day. : )

Rick:

If Arizona is of interest to you (it's ripe for REI right now), I would love to talk with you further.

Chris:

Welcome to BP!  As you're just staring this new endeavor, please allow me to give you this one piece of advice: meet with a mortgage/financial professional before you do anything else.  Tell him/her both your short-term AND long-term goals.  He/she will be able to help you construct a plan that will accomplish those short-term goals and provide you with the means and resources to pursue the long-term goals.  All too often, new investors either overdevelop a property "because it'll look better" or spend their money too fast; by doing this, they short-circuit themselves and are unable to pursue their goals.  If you don't have a mortgage/financial professional, make friends with a couple of investors whom you trust and ask them for a referral to a "money" pro.  I wish you the very best!

Arizona is only a stone's throw away from San Diego.  When you get tired of all that perfect weather, come on over and take a look at the great opportunities are here in the Valley of the Sun.
