Thanks Jason, that is what I am now doing, but I am still looking at north west Florida properties just in case something comes up that will work with my needs.

I took the company name out just in case.

Was even considering a call to the Sherrif's office for an escort just in case.

The property 3 houses away (not as upgraded as ours) is listed for $89,900..Comments Please,Thanks,Justin

Hi Justin,Welcome to the group.

:lol: http://www.northwestindiana.com/beaches.htmhttp://www.indianabeach.com/accommodations/inn/ :cool: Wouldn't recommend swimming this time of year, but then again I was just in Tampa and it was too cold for beaches there too.

Just curious, are you doing deals just in California or are you going out of state?

You will need a purchase agreement along side other documentation that the bank will tell you.As David has been trying to impress on you, you are better off using a professional agent or a lawyer to do this deal- so that you cover your butts - just in case the seller later conveniently forgets and claim that you duped him or whatever...Regardsnii

But any one property in any given year could have a couple of one-time capital expenditures that will completely blow up your planned cash outlay for the year.So make sure you are giving yourself enough of a cash cushion just in case.
