I am currently enjoying my 1k monthly income with no debt, and I am nervous about leveraging.  

I personally learned I enjoy local investing in residential properties.

California landlords can now enjoy streamlined maintenance and cost savings thanks to AB 2622.Signed into law in September 2024, AB 2622 raises the threshold for unlicensed contracting work from $500 to $1,000.

I’ve been coaching new investors for a while, and I always enjoy hearing about what brings people to real estate.

I agree that is will be a gamble as to how well it will do.Also, ask the owner if they will entertain partial owner financing to keep from dragging family and friends into this risky business venture.Maybe even rent from owner for a year with right to sublease to see how it goes before committing to a purchase.

You got a screaming bargain that was so good that no one else wanted it from the provider side, even for free.

Over the course of using Bigger Pockets I have had very degrees of opinions on who I should vote for concerning a post.When I first started using Bigger Pockets, I was too naïve to even think of voting for someone that took the time to answer one of my post.  

I would love to be able to bundle them into 1 loan, but have not found a lender who can loan on a single property under $100k, even when bundled with the other one.
