I'm ready to take the next steps to get the next deal and more further down the road.

After researching further though on social media and then criminal records I found about 12 previous arrests and numerous convictions burglary, theft, criminal trafficking, molestation (don't think convicted), battery. 

Further, there is usually no contingencies, due diligence, inspections, and arranging financing gets done BEFORE the property is tied up.  

Now I've taking things a step further.

Welcome to the community and be ready for a huge amount of information at your finger tips.

If your $150,000 properties appreciate by just 3%, they could be worth around $200,000 each in 10 years, adding significant equity.Additionally, mortgage paydown from tenants further builds equity.

Do you tip your handyman?

Also, any tips y'all would give to people who are just starting out, also I am open to other nearby areas where barrier to entry is still relatively low.

I am still evaluating if this is the best investment for me to proceed with as we get further through due diligence and I will keep everyone updated on how things go.

It's a great way to increase your net worth and these loans can also be used to pull cash out of a property as it appreciates allowing you to reinvest money into new deals.Happy to connect to discuss further.
