@Paul De Luca

Thanks for the input! We are touring the property this weekend and will ask About the utilities. Property seems to be in great shape from the outside, we’ll see. Using hard money since we don’t have the best credit at the moment but will ask about that too.

My first deal ever analyzed! Wife and I found this property the other day and decided to get down to business! Very new to the investing arena so any advice, corrections and so forth are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Evening!

Wife and I are new investors in the Englewood, FL area! Seeing lots of properties for sale and learning a lot. Even got a few contacts and networking everywhere we go. Reading books and learning as much as we possibly can.

If there are any meetups in the area, we’d be stoked to go and network!

If not we can always host one too!!

@Brian Ellis Congratulations on your decision. This is huge! Hearing stories like this are incredibly motivating to me and many others, I’m sure.

I am leaving my current job at Safelite AutoGlass to pursue real estate as an agent and investor. Just wish I would’ve done it sooner!

Good luck!

Just a general question. More of a worry than anything.

So there is a vacant duplex for sale right down our street. My question is after rehabbing the vacant property, will we have to pay the monthly expenses of the property? How is this profitable? Is there a way to guarantee renters?

Our biggest concern is owning a property that we have to pay for and not profit on for longer than necessary.

Also, let’s say we have private lender funding for this property. Seeing as it is vacant, how does lender funding relate to vacancies over a period of time? Are we covered with private lender funding or does that monthly expense come straight out of our own pocket? No one ever seems to talk about that and so can’t find much online.

Any help appreciated!!!

@Bill Hampton

Thank you so much for the valuable information! I posted in the forum looking for book recommendations for improving business, productivity, communication, leadership, etc... what makes a successful investor a successful investor.

Wife and I are working on ourselves in general while we tackle our total money makeover. So if you’ve got any recommendations in that realm it will be supremely appreciated!

I will be checking all of that out as well!!

Thanks again!
