Still, all the experience did not prepare me nearly enough for what deals I do now.One more thing, you want to seek advice in everything you do from the people that actually do deals, unfortunately a lot of people want to invest in Real Estate, however they never amount the courage to move on and take action.

Thanks for the replies but none of you fit the profile I was seeking answers from.

We've finished our first renovation and are seeking our second.  

Let them know you are a investor in the area seeking investor loans.. and ask them what they will need from you before you visit the loan department. 

Morning BP,As I near the end of the coursework to acquire my PA Real Estate Salesperson License, I am starting to think about with which broker I should seek employment.

I threw this into my spread sheet and I show an ANNUAL cash flow of $1291If utilities are 125 per month total you have an annual cash flow of around $5791.I seek lower cost investments with the same return of 5-6K/year. 

I'd like to spend a few years driving to/seeking out good locales to buy property, putting in the work, hiring a PM co. and continuing on my way.

Always good to see/meet fellow, local investors who are seeking knowledge and understanding about the business of real estate.

So I would say they may or may not be available depending on the area you are investing in but if one person says there aren't any I would look for a second opinion or run an ad on Craigslist or something seeking out people willing to do one.  

Under ideal conditions, I wanted to know whether investors would wholesale, flip or hold onto a property like this - with such a large plot of land, rural area with hunting & fishing on site, the sturdy brick exterior many buyers seek & all.As for the numbers, I think the seller is hoping to get close to her stated appraisal value ($252K) but I plan to explain to her that it's out of the question since I am an investor after all (which I stated in the yellow letter).
