Purchase price: $330,000 Cash invested: $40,000 Hey everyone, I wanted to share a personal story about a property I purchased and renovated in Hudson County, NJ.

Attend in person, bid, if you win you have to pay right then via a cashiers check.

Quote from @Jeff Sanders: Personally coming from an agent/investor in CA, I always get a quote from a broker of mine and make sure I am knowledgeable with the fees/costs.

I’m the last person who should complain about grammar, but these are yellow flags, at best.

Quote from @John Friendas Quote from @Patrick Roberts: If you are on the note or personally guarantee the debt, then it will affect the liability side of DTI, regardless of whether the lender reports the loan on your personal credit.

Maybe you don't notice it, but it's notable to others who have experienced life outside of CA and don't have CA as the singular center and whole of the universe in their mind. 

Additional DetailsI’m willing to invest in out-of-state properties, though I prefer areas with good property management options.My primary focus is passive income, but I’m also interested in value-add opportunities.I want to ensure these investments provide strong tax benefits and diversify my portfolio.I’d love to hear from experienced investors:What would you do in my position?

Personally I'm against these types of programs, especially 5-figure ones.

We're based in Tampa and, in addition to personally investing, I own a mortgage company that provides financing for tons of investors.

They actually have a licensed person in California.
