I do not have much money or the best connections, but I have the fire in my heart and mind to make it happen!

Although our hearts are back in Tucson, we're still calling San Francisco home for the time being.

This one is coming with 20% instant equity and needs "nothing" to rent out in the heart of grandview it's already a bit overdone for the area - granite, stainless, hardwoods, outbuilding) - I think this one will rent as soon as I take possession and market it.On the financing side, I took my relationship with portfolio lender a step further and moved some security assets I've been holding a long time (income oriented things like bond ETFs) for free to their asset management division, which allowed them to give me a line of credit with those as collateral at 3.5% "interest only".  

I've heard Brandon say on the podcast to always tell everyone around you that you are interested in investing in real estate, and I have taken that to heart.

Surprised again we have a multi-investor at our meetup that's still young and hungry at heart. 2 possibles in as many days. 

It is not for the faint of heart.

Do you want to be in the heart of the clubs and bars in Seaside or a little more north in the quiet part of Mantoloking or further south in LBI perhaps?

I know that one apartment is very under rented with a tenant who has been there about 5 years and this landlord has not had the heart to raise the rent.

Additionally, the fact that his company filed for bankruptcy protection in 2012 definitely made me glad that I didn't really take the book to heart. 

I figured my heart was in the right place, but as a more novice investor, you always want validation from a more experienced player in the game.
