I invest in duplexes located in Sacramento, because the cash flow in the Bay Area is almost non existent at my price range.I would suggest you look at as many properties as possible to get the true flavor for what this area has to offer.

If you are bold, you can ask the tenants during the walk through if there "is anything they would change" about the house.

Gonzalez DBA Pleasant Renovation is now operating in AUSTIN (sorry for the bold caps, just wanted to point it out).

Seems we're getting an international flavor here.You're already aware of your market and requirements so I don't know if our investing environment will be applicable for you.

As a long time software developer, I have learned that when talking about software it is bold indeed to use the words always or never.

I have been reading up on this forum as well as books on the subject of REI and I am finally ready to TAKE BOLD ACTION!!!

Now I try to make multiple REO offers in November-December, stating boldly that; "I guarantee to close before the end of the bank year!"

Tivon, the key word in what you said is in bold: "My partner and I had a meeting today with a realty company that purchases properties and wholesales them to other investors."

They are good, bad and every flavor inbetween.

On top of it I write in bold letters "no pets, no smoking, no daycare" and I have them initial it.
