You are in the right place learning from the BP community.I have worked with a number of investors who have stated their investing journey this same way. 

I also took this entire section, and fed it to both ChatGPT and Google' Gemini's AIs to see if the calculations seemed correct.

This is tough for new investors that focus so hard on cash flow as their main criteria.

Melisa Justice, and she helped me navigate the entire Journey, it was a process not too long, it took about a month, and the process would have been definitely very hard being that I was on a different state by Melissa made it a lot smother, she was very responsive to all my questions (and I had a lot of questions), she helped me find a lender that would fit better for my financial situation, once I was pre-approved she connected me with the right property inspectors, and all through out the process she kept in touch pointing me the right direction all the way until closing day, all this to say I Definitely recommend her for any body the is finally ready to take the plunge and get started with their real estate carrier, I definitely will get in touch with her when I'm ready to buy my next property!

What type of investing do you do in Arizona to where this information is helpful?

I want to take this opportunity by qualifying for REP status.I have also been meaning to build 2 units in my backyard and put them on rent.

Reopening this thread, I’ve taken the plunge on a single family home just outside of Pine Plains, technically is Gallatin Twnshp, Columbia County.

It is time for new ones and this time I will use a pro once I find one where I own the pics and not them.

My question: Is this a thing? 

This could be a game-changer for many investors in Los Angeles and California.
