Liz, I have had great success with the Irwin group here in Lake oswego at finance of america @Austin Irwin They have some very favorable rates/ loan programs for multifamily properties.

This is for a variety of reasons, but mainly because I have dreamed of living in North Lake Tahoe. 

where were you when about 200 plus families in La I had to foreclose on and take their investment property from them.. its a nightmare I am not saying no debt its not realistic until you get to a certain level but having free and clear assets is a choice and no one can take them from you..I am a gambler anyway I gamble on appreciation every day.. and value add..so maybe I am not the best to have this argument with.but when I look at the truly wealthy friends I have and I mean truly wealthy  not 7 figures but 8 figure to 9 figure net worths most of what they have is paid for it not all.. unless they are in big syndicated deals.. houses are paid for second houses... house s at the ski areas the lake front homes.. etc etc.. but I guess I am just more in the limit debt camp for long term liabilities..

Hi,My boyfriend and I are looking at buying an investment property in Big Bear Lake.

I’m a licensed agent in lake Geneva.

Unless the property is on a waterway or lake, I would look for another property.BUT, its a different story when you can step out back, lower your boat. 

My wife and I live in Salt Lake City, Utah.

I would suggest reaching out to other local investors by attending the FREE local Meetups here in Lake Forest, Anaheim, Irvine and more.

My duplex is in Fruitvale, not that far from Lake Merrit.
