The last house I purchased was $227,500 and we put down $85K. 

If you wanted to diversify you could use the income and purchase other properties, slowly add other properties. 

To clarify, I didn’t invest in a “fund,” but rather purchased a note for a specific fix-and-flip project.

The property is being purchased at 103 with an ARV of 375.

I'm a fan of using the HELOC to help purchase new property.

I've purchased about 10 properties for myself and have always use my own broker.

Quote from @Michael Smythe: @Jerry NoguerasRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I recently came across a website called RentToRetirement.com, which helps buyers purchase turnkey investment properties out of state.I was wondering if anyone here has used this site to buy a property.

I also purchased these while residing in CA!

Did you purchase this property all cash?
