I find my self telling every one I speak to friends, family, strangers, cats, dogs, ground hogs... that I'm very interested in REI and if they know anyone that mite be in a place, that mite not be an ideal dwelling I can help them with an easy way out. so I figure its about time to make it more official by giving them a tangible way to remember me by.   

Hey Everyone,I'm trying to get a new club off the ground and I want to connect and bring more value to people through Instagram.

Do they have legal grounds to do so? 

I’m seeing that property crime is pretty high and since I’m an out of state investor, I would have a hard time keeping an eye on the ground besides cleaners/handymen between stays. 

I think many investors are going around that rule in Baltimore City, so I assume they are doing it in other counties.Not trying to pick on you as you are 110% correct and understand you are just reporting the facts on the ground, just I think the logic about this, about “off market” deals is kind of off, like there are plenty of ways to make money skirting the rules, taking advantage of old people etc, and there are more profitable ways than real estate to do that, at that point your not really a real estate investor, your just someone making money not playing by the rules of your competition and taking advantage of people, which to me shouldn’t be considered “a real estate strategy”

Purchase price: $40,000 Cash invested: $100,000 Building a duplex from the ground up. 1600 sq ft. 4-2.

Establishing the core 4 is what everyone says, and it is important to have boots on the ground near your properties to check in on things when needed. 

Bonus points if I'd be able to upload all of our Mint data and could hit the ground running with the new service!

I am in Arlington so if you ever want some “boots on the ground” to look at a property around here, I’d be happy to help out. 

You won't get off the ground with $20,000, and you should wait the 4 years until you have a proper amount
