Hey all,Just wanted to introduce myself - bought a duplex in Los Feliz over the summer with a few business partners and will be renovating the property while living there.

Quote from @Tove Fox: I live in California and am interested in purchasing my first investment property in an A or B neighborhood in one of the above states, ideally under $300k.

I’m looking to start in DFW since I live in Arlington but eventually I’ll be open to other markets to diversify my portfolio.  

Maybe I should have clarified, like I said I posted on here before about this tenant, they both lived there husband left months ago just her there, he left all his stuff, she left most of her stuff, my 14 day notice I gave her ended on 31st of Jan, she told me she was out, husband wants to get stuff and throw out /clean out what's there that's why the dumpster, I just want to know if I can change locks or should I leave it till they remove there stuff, I was going to post a 15 day get your belongings out or I will disgard notice on the door.

There are people that do flipping in other states while they live in another state from the projects and they are successful, but they have built a team while doing it. 

If you're a single mom with student loans, a car payment, and living paycheck-to-paycheck, then $20,000 would be devastating and a reserve is critical.

My name is Cesar and I am originally from Puerto Rico but have been living in Virginia for over 20 years.

I live OOS and have been doing deals in the Cleveland markets for many years.

I live outside of Charlotte in a small town called Denver (of the East).
