Awesome to see a new investor-minded person here.. do you have a favorite real estate success story already?

Juggling between work and personal life can be tough, but having a property manager can take some of the pressure off and let you focus on your other priorities

Just curious do you find that accessing county records online through the county clerk website works just as well as going in person?

But the risk to the seller on this deal is immense you have a guy tying up a property who has no ability to close it and then sell it to whoever will give him money and that person could be nefarious get into title rip rents could give 2 craps about the sellers credit etc etc..

I would imagine Long Beach is complicated to get into the STR game but I don't personally invest there so not sure.

We recently relocated to Phoenix last summer and I'm starting to look for recommendations for local credit unions here in Phoenix which are trustworthy, low rates, personal touch, easy/simple to work with, etc. 

Due to the current interest rates, you probably can't live for free, but you can definitely learn how to house hack in that first year, reduced your personal housing costs, learn the rent by room/co-living strategy on-site, and then probably break-even after move out, but most importantly, it is possible to make that work in 2025 with today's rates.It just takes being open-minded and willing to be flexible for the 1st year.  

We have been able to get some great deals simply by doing extra research that the average person wasn't willing to do.

Based on rough assessment, the following is needed just to get it listed:NeedsLowMidHighRoof$7,747.00$12,580.00$26,037.00Siding$20,000.00$25,000.00$30,000.00Windows$9,000.00$12,000.00$18,000.00New Deck$8,000.00$10,000.00$12,000.00Roof Leak Repair$2,000.00$3,500.00$5,000.00Mold Mitigation$1,000.00$2,500.00$3,500.00AC Units$13,000.00$15,000.00$18,000.00Carpet Replacement$2,500.00$3,500.00$5,000.00Kitchen Remodel$5,000.00$10,000.00$20,000.00Total$68,247.00$94,080.00$137,537.00Due to lack of capital to fund these repairs, I believe the best option is to find an investor looking to flip. 

Would it be better to do some remodeling and deduct those costs from the sale proceeds, or should I foreclose and sell the property "as-is"?
