This active income can help me fund my retirement as well as help me get reimbursement for home office and health care premium while lower my tax liability.

I would recommend anyone lending in this environment to fix and flippers or any type of investment to be careful and get a personal guaranty and make sure person has a long track record.

– Considering Class A properties with established tenants• Less focus on appreciation – Prioritizing income stability over potential future gains Current Opportunity: I’m evaluating a retail property in downtown Portland with:• >80% occupancy, most tenants in place for 10+ years• Decent cap rate (6-7%), NNN lease• Well-maintained, high-quality building, with existing HOA which will take care of maintenance. 

We care about our investors' success, but it's ultimately up to each investor to take action to accomplish their goals however they do it!

By carefully managing the scope and cost of renovations, you can maximize the return on your investment.3.

@Brett Coultas if you're a newbie, you want to be careful of an "investor friendly" agent selling you something they truly don't understand:(95+% of agents only know how to handle owner-occupied transactions - you can verify this by asking them calculate ROI for you or Cash-On-Cash!

To be brutally honest i don't care if it's at cost, below or above, I only care what it is exactly and how much. 

(or if they're primary buyers, they don't care about yield, since they're going to live there.)i just went to visit two very distressed properties yesterday that i would buy.... if they were priced 50% lower.  

@Ajay Bodas, Be careful!. 

That's how you care for your friends and family.
