Lots of them are fake buyers and are actually scammy wholesalers that have no idea what they are doing and they will waste your time.

Also I'm not opposed to doing something commercial if someone has an idea.

Correct, the idea would be to owner-occupy one of the units (I’m looking at 2-4 unit options).

We can certainly be more blunt in our wording.I will try a different rep..good idea, Thanks.

Make some lender contacts and ask them for referrals.That should help get the juices flowing on ideas for revving your business up.

However, one idea to consider is some "middle ground" for your investing...

And still, neighborhoods can change, tenants can go rogue, things can break etc.I'm always looking for ways to help protect investors so I'm open to any ideas you have.

While it will likely give you more confidence and answer a lot of questions, I would say that talking to a seasoned investor, or even agent that works with investors, is a way better idea than spending 8K on something that you don't know too much about, especially before your first deal is done.

This would be a very bad idea in California.

Hello Nathan,That's a good idea.
