Purchase price: $70,000 This was a 3 bed 1 bath that I paid for.

Hi folks,My wife and I are looking to purchase a vacation cabin in Packwood not for use as an Airbnb. 

@John Lasher If you are still looking to spend $20k-$30K for a coach, I would be happy to take you up on that offer :) For full disclosure,  I will share with you precisely what you can learn online/ perhaps even entirely through these BiggerPockets Forums but that doesn't address the reason why most are still unable to purchase larger assets: creditworthiness and capital relationships.

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond.Here’s where I’m at in my journey:I don’t plan to rush into purchasing my first property.

Quote from @Yash Shah: Hello everyone,I'm new to this group and would love to hear your thoughts on the pros and cons of purchasing a corporate or bank-owned home.

Any amount you purchase less than you sell, or any amount of cash you take out is considered to be profit. 

Purchase price: $450,000 Cash invested: $450,000 Centrally located near Shopping, Entertainment, Transportation and much more.

Qualified applicants that get priced out of rapidly improving neighborhoods will move into these areas but it seems like they aren’t biting.High quality, lower income applicants aren’t stupid and they won’t settle.If you think this area is a losing proposition, I would think about selling and not banking on hope.In regard to vacancy, I don’t consider any area that has average occupancy (economic and physical) below 95%You might pay more for a better area but time will treat you right and you’ll make a ton of money in equity over the long term.

@Chase Calhoun mainly we work with local builders but we have also purchased from the regional builders as well.

I recently came across a website called RentToRetirement.com, which helps buyers purchase turnkey investment properties out of state.I was wondering if anyone here has used this site to buy a property.
