@brieSchmidt   what is archiving a thread?

I am having a hard time finding my inbox on this site.  Does this work like Facebook and archive my conversations with others.  I love the networking capability of the site but if I can't review my past conversations its kind of pointless to have.  Is it that I have to start paying to see my past conversations?  ........=/

A network of real estate agents and my awesome lender from Guild Mortgage linked me up with a few.  I have used 4 agents so far.  I keep in touch with all my agents and they keep me in mind when they come across a deal that can get me a good rate of return.  Quick question, how do I navigate to the private messages portion of this website?  I cant find it anywhere...

Hey Nick, I live and invest in the Antelope Valley. I started with zero experience in 2011 and built my way up to 6 houses in the past 3 years with a positive cash flow of 3k a month. I have been doing 20 percent down payments, with my first house being 10 percent down. Right now is still an excellent time to buy. If the numbers make sense, do it. You can't make positive cash flow anywhere else in Southern California (with a mortgage) other than the Antelope Valley. I'm sure some of you can prove me wrong about that statement about the cash flow, but I GUARANTEED you aren't anywhere near the returns I have on my investments UNLESS you are in the AV. As for finding solid tenants I have had zero issues. Majority of them commute to Santa Clarita or LA for work. I could ramble on and on about pros and cons of the AV but numbers speak louder than any drawn out reply. My last 2 investments were in August 2014 and November 2014. In August I got a detached duplex for 110k in a low income neighborhood. 20 percent down, total payment of 641 a month. Rents are 800 and 850.. netting a return of 900 a month. November I got a 3+2 SFR in West Lancaster, excellent neighborhood for 110. Payment=580 and rent is 1125 netting $500 positive cash flow. Email me if you want to chat, I think you are very smart for looking into the AV. best of luck. [email protected]
