ok Gentlemen @Rob Beland @Sean Ploskina @Jeremy Pace We have a assumable VHDA loan with a balance of 1.1 million asking 1.5 million sales price with locked interest of 5.22 % NOI of 177198 Total expenses 89262..you have a debt service of 115536..capital reserves of 7250..loan payment of 3k a month..95% vacancy 2014 year was income of 218657 total expenses 90738..

These are now down at 8% as rents have not kept pace with appreciation3.

Take it at your own pace.

I want to thank all the contributors and members on this forum for allowing me to pick their brains at my own pace.

Groundwork and framing can set the pace of the entire job. 

My goal is to have one investment property by the end of the year and then pick up the pace from there.Any investors here from the SW Louisiana area on BP, or any real estate investing groups in SWLA?

Having a regular job while investing in passive income sure hastens the pace.

Dallas has PACE as does Houston. 

What's important is to look at what markets are growing and developing at a faster rate, where is the higher return on investment, and what trends are not diminishing but accelerating at an exponentially faster pace more so than any other market?

If you dont have a tape , pace it off you will still be close
