I am an investor and an investor friendly agent.

Let me know if you want help looking at foreclosures ; etc.

@Jason Hawk

Contact Linda Young. Agent and big time cash investor in your area.

Google for her info (Keller Williams agent). Can't give it out without her permission.

With all that being said :

Outline your goal criteria. If the above meets your goals ; purchase it. Your goals will get more defined and more strict over time as you learn.

A few thoughts :

If you don't have a lot of cash on hand and want to build a portfolio ; why put so much down ? Find a lender that allows you to put 15% down (lender doesn't have to be local fyi).

I know you think you can't get a better deal because of your market and available cash ; but I'll tell you the truth : You can't get a better deal because of your experience ; not the market.  An experienced investor can walk into about any market and purchase for a larger discount (off market). Google and study the heck up on 2 terms. 1. Wholesalers 2. Hard Money

The deal above doesn't sound terrible for your first if it had great curb appeal in a great neighborhood though ; however I would think great curb appeal in a good neighborhood would rent for 1% of its value ($1300-$1400).

Also did you take a GC or contractor to make sure you didn't miss anything ? If your a new investor it's easy for the eye to miss quite a bit of repair that will eat up the little equity you have.

@Ben Relph

Do the REIA groups meet up anymore ?

If so I no longer receive info ; let me know.

Thanks

@Brandon Proctor

This might be easier for you.

Send me your email address and I'll set you up on an automatic search on homes that fit your criteria if your preferred areas. 

Also list out a little more of your criteria other than location and price 

Shane nailed it...

Number 1 -- I would speak with a lender first to see how much of a home you can afford ; you can then narrow it down based on your goals as Shane mentioned above.

Let me know if you need a good lender contact.

Shane - Time to buy my friend !!

What makes you not want the deal at Pawnee and Rock ?

Maize - best school system ; largest number of nearby restaurants/shopping of the 3 areas you mentioned.

@Chad Thomas

Just realized your profile saying your searching for an investor friendly real estate agent.

What are you needing help with ?

Also - Do you wholesale ? I have cash and am always looking to purchase off market.

@Chad Thomas

Good point. I know a couple skip tracers personally from my Enterprise Rent A Car management days.

What do they usually charge you to find a phone number ?
