Aloha does updates on the property and claims they still have confidence the property will sell, and we'll get our investment back plus all interest owed since default.   

Instead you will cash flow right out of the gate and appreciation is faster in those states with TLC properties or adding things like an ADU, or Carriage home on a bigger lot.Most of my investors that live in CA purchase in those states listed above and in most cases its easy to introduce them to local Seasoned realtors Contractors, Handy Men/Women that can help them save money and feel secure about the distance from home to REI.

Quote from @Lee Banks: Hi my name is Lee I'm looking too buy my first rental property and but I feel as if I need a mentor to watch, I still need to learn the basics of real-estate does anyone in New York do programs or mentorships and where would you start if you first started real-estate today  Hello Lee,I'd recommend looking up local meetups here on BP, meetup.com and, eventbrite.You can also call around to speak with RE investors and professionals in your target market to begin making connections.With so much available information online, I'd recommend speaking to a few people and doing independent research before committing to mentorships.

Feel free to reach out directly if you'd like to dig deeper into the chaos I've immersed myself in over the last 10 years or so.Cheers and drive safe

Feel free to ask me for any additional questions on how the biz of "gurus" works.   

Feel free to PM.  

It feels really unethical.

The goal is to build confidence, learn, and set a solid foundation for scaling later.
