Get out of your comfort zone.

(The Black Friday sale on the Bigger Pockets bookstore was where I did my own Christmas shopping so my family knew what to ‘buy’ for me!).

I just missed out on a close-in 50 acre site for $250k that would have done all of these profit centers.

Hello, Just wondering if anyone can help me figure out a lending strategy.

Quote from @Chris Menne: I am considering moving out of state in the next year or so, and wanted to get some opinions on either selling my current house, or turning it into a long term rental.

This vary heavily town to town. 20% down is great if buying strictly as investment but if you have a way of owner occupying I would explore that route and apply the 20% down to increasing value of property and instead using low money down loan. 

As for the areas to target, my goal in getting our feet wet as real estate investors--and since we plan to be living in Sac--is to find a property we can live in while renting out one or more units to help cover our housing expenses, which we can then hold and continue to rent out when we move.

Hello Bigger Pockets!

However they made it clear that unless we would pay them something unreasonable, they weren’t leaving without a fight.
