I manage the property and the tenants, pay the owner of the property a rent that meets their mortgage plus a little profit, charge fair market rent from the tenants I sublet to, and exercise an option to buy the property after a predefined term and at a predefined price.This way tired landlords don't have to manage their property anymore, and I start investing with little to no money.

There is an investor meeting there called RIG and I suggest going to it.. you could meet some of the locals..

I am a small investor in the Tucson Az, area looking to meet and learn from like minded individuals.

In Tampa I meet Tow Truck drivers that make $3,000 a Week...what did you do?

No way am I going to deal with the TTTs....if you can't provide that, I'll just keep looking until I find someone who will tell me they can meet my needs, anywhere in the country. 

At the planning commish meeting they said we will approve it but you need to cut density by 10 lots..

Make sure the property meets the 1% rule or close to it (monthly rents = 1% of purchase price) to ensure it cash flows after you move out.Yes, interets rates are higher than they were a couple of years ago, but rents have also increased significantly in many markets, including yours.

**This all depends on what the mortgage company will do on the Refi appraisal numbers, I would bring these items to meet that appraiser if you go for it..

We are considering a new policy at BiggerPockets and request feedback.Idea: Update our website policy such that "Wholesalers" who break forum rules, solicit members, or submit requests to meet agents using our agent finder will be sent a $125 bill for each infraction.
