@Peter Tverdov I like your point. I'm budgeting in higher for capex and repairs and it IS pricing me out of many deals. Maybe I can be a littler more lenient with it. 

@Joe Edwards-Hoff best of luck with this. I'll be watching your progress and rooting for you! Keep us posted!

Good question to ask. I pondered that myself where I live outside NYC. My take was if I'm going to live somewhere I might as well pay a mortgage instead of rent especially if I want to hold the mortgage for awhile in an appreciating market. Lots of good posts here on people advocating for purchasing in appreciating markets. I don't know much about Miami but it seems pretty desirable and strong. Good luck in your decision!

Henry Cervantez how do Costco loans work? I've never heard of that?

@Jonathan Dempsey see you there!

All good @Mark Lladas. Enjoy Florida! @Ian Cramsey we'll see you next time!

Hey @Marc Weisi, @David Weintraub @Jonathan Dempsey @Harry Jacobs we're going to meet at Park Tavern at 5pm Sunday if you want to join us. I've posted an event if you want to reply to it. Feel free to share. It'll be super casual just chatting over beers. No pitching. Just hanging out and talking about real estate!

Hey everyone,

Just setting up a very casual impromptu meetup at the New Park Tavern on the West Side of Jersey City. I've never been there but it should be a good time. We'll meet around 5pm until maybe 7. Hope to see you there.

@Marc Weisi @David Weintraub I could do Sunday in the afternoon evening if you guys can make it. Any time works after 3pm. @Steven O'Leary do you want to join us at The West Side Park Tavern?

Hey @Alicia N Ragonese welcome to the community! There are lots of very smart people in the NJ market that can help you out. I'm in Jersey City so I only know that market but getting access to cash with low interest rates with a line of credit certainly helps your cause. I would go that route to see if there are some good BRRR houses where you are at or getting into flipping.

Good luck!
