@Melissa J. I would need to know what more about your situation tax wise to provide you with some good advise. I'm looking at a property in Beaumont with a VA loan of 4% that I can assume. It may cash flow a couple of hundred dollars a month and I would only have to put $20K down. I can use the tax write-off, but that may not be your situation. I am bullish on this type of purchase due to low interest rate loan.

(No cost, no pitch) Forming new relationships and networking may be the most important aspect of success in real estate. Furthermore, learning from the real-life success and failure of other investors is invaluable. This is a perfect place to learn, grow, and network!!

The connections that perfectly complement you are out there. If you have not found them yet, you aren't looking hard enough. No successful investor will tell you that it is easy, but they will tell you that most could achieve success with hard work and perseverance. Don't give up!

This month's speaker is Natalie Elser: I was inspired to create a proactive, collaborative, and personable experience for fellow entrepreneurs, closely held businesses, and motivated individuals. I wanted a space for clients and staff that is professional, educated, and experienced, while also incorporating a relaxed, balanced, and non-traditional environment. Boring accountant no more! It is important to me that people are happy and are constantly striving for and reaching their goals.
I not only hold a CPA license, but a real estate license as well, specializing in business sales, purchases, and commercial real property. No need to hire an outside broker to help you with your commercial real estate needs, I can do it all in-house for you. Real estate is a passion of mine, and after experiencing the process of purchasing a business firsthand and seeing what a nightmare the process can be, I wanted to help business owners never have to endure that same experience I had. My goal is to help ensure that the sale or purchase is as smooth a process as possible.
I am motivated both in the office and out. Besides spending time running the firm and helping clients achieve their goals, I also continues to chase my own. I work out multiple times a week, enjoy reading business and real estate books, and I strive to better myself and my business knowledge every day. I am a native Southern Californian and some of my favorite things are warm sandy beaches, a nice cappuccino, traveling, and my dog, Hefner.
