I just joined GAREIA and have been attending via zoom but I want to go in person so I am able to meet other people that are actually investing in my area -Meet with lenders some I can become more familiar about the financing and different products that are available to acquire rental properties If I could design a this is how to get your property this year, what you said you are going to do is basically it so great job.

I wouldn't use them to complete the job, they've already shown they aren't doing quality work.

It’s got a steady job market, especially with major companies like FedEx, Amazon, and international logistics hubs around here.

Some police departments allow off their duty officers to be hired for security jobs.

.- Generally landlord-friendly state, no rent control- Secure government jobs/contracts make the real estate market much more resilient to recessions / major corrections- 15-minute drive to the Capitol of the United States- 4 Seasons- 15-minute drive to Arlington, Virginia (Amazon Headquarters 2 ((2017 announced, 2030 is bringing 25,000 new high-paying    jobs to the area)), Boeing Headquarters (2022), Microsoft Headquarters (2021), CoStar Headquarters (2024), Bloomberg    Headquarters (2017 expanded), Deloitte, and the list goes on)Thesis:Although more companies continue to go back to the office, there will be a shift toward a good amount of workers being able to be in hybrid roles.

While the Fed looks to continue their trajectory of cutting short term rates, I suspect the mid and long points of the yield curve (particularly the 10 year, which is what most mortgages go off of) will stay elevated. 10 Yr treasury today is 4.4%, but if it goes up to 5% or 6%, your mortgage will likely be in the 8% or higher level, which then hits CF even more.  

I know someone who ahd a loand written at 10% from years ago and now they said a state is requesting more info on the loan because it was above usury laws and they may have to cut a check back to that person.Let me guess, good old Pennsylvania? 

I did not pay him the final amount (less that $2K) because he did not finish the job according to my satisfaction. 

Started looking at condos, Airbnb’s now apartments. lost my job in the beginning of the pandemic, so I’m trying to make cash flow apartments my day job. my funds become available in April, so hopefully I’ll find my first apartment building in Chicago.

Microsoft Excel, and most budget or free online bookkeeping isn't going to cut it in this situation.For the rental properties you own directly, I often tell clients and prospects that a P&L in Microsoft Excel is just fine and a balance sheet is not necessary for tax purposes.
