 Thanks for the reminder Gene. It's easy to rush into things but yes, I do need to be patient and wait for the right opportunity.

 Great article! Thanks!

 I have read the UBG and and my long term goal is to buy and hold but I wouldn't cashflow much because the market here is so high.  Which leads me to start wholesaling or  rehabbing, and then be able to buy and hold.   

Hi everyone my name is Jonathan Guerrero and I'm from Bakersfield, CA. I've listened to majority of the BP podcasts and I've been lurking around here for a little bit.  I'm desperate to learn more about this business and desperate to get my first deal Under my belt. 

Im currently employed in the oil industry and I want to invest my time in something that will actually give me all the freedom I want provide me and my family with a better future and better opportunities.

I'd love to network and meet people so I can learn, grow and help others. Thanks!

A few blocks down from my residence, someone built two duplexes on a small lot. I think they took about 6 months to do it but I felt like they were dragging it. I could be wrong, maybe building permit issues. However, it should take 4-6 months for the project to be complete. 

And about leverage, some of these sellers are pretty motivated. Some are willing to seller finance, small down payment, or even partner up with you. 

I'm just a little torn between building and buying. But Sam you brought up some good points. 

I want to start investing but I'm having trouble finding a great deal on multifamily properties.  Everything is so expensive and the cheaper ones are in bad locations. 

My dad can build a home from scratch so I was thinking in partnering with him and build one, occupy it, build a few more on the same lot and either sell or hold.  Building one would cost me as much as an old ugly one. I know it's a huge step for my first move but is it worth it?   Any input is would be great. 

 It is a small insert and I will get rid of it. It's hideous. 

Thanks for the input guys. 

Good point. I need to double check on that. 

I want to expand the master bathroom shower, but if I do I will be reducing the guest bathroom size. Is that a good idea or should I just keep it the same? Will it reduce some value, scare off potential buyers?

 Thanks Zach.  You make a good point.
