How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

I'm wondering if you can help advise on this situation.My mother currently resides in a property located in Los Angeles County.

This is a good question.I found that meetups are kind of like you described not much really happens there and for sure REIAs and their monthly meeting kind of the same people talking about the same thing then bring in ( at least what i have seen with the PDX reia) folks that are presenting on things that worked decades ago.. and want to sell their stuff for a few grand.For me personally the best networking hands down was SF Bay Area events  San Jose Reiaand LA  FIBI events.folks in those markets are very real estate centric and generally more experienced and in San Jose so many tech folks that have done really really well.. maybe not in RE but have done great in TECH and have quite a bit of bandwidth for investments..

Networking with local investors, joining Chicago real estate meetups, and connecting with experienced agents can help you find the right deals.Good luck!

My property is fully renovated, furnished and ready for immediate occupancy, making it an ideal solution for families or individuals in need of temporary housing during their recovery process.I would greatly appreciate any insights, recommendations, or specific contacts that could help me effectively position this property in the disaster recovery housing market.I have one last question's lot of Insurance company stop writing policy in long island NY.

I’ve been in the real estate business as a broker, helping clients buy and sell homes, but I’m looking to take things to the next level by diving deeper into investing.

Software will do the rest and help you keep it straight. 

First, and i don't know why nobody else is catching this, you MUST go directly to your broker, sit down and discuss all this with them. 

I love posts like this.
