The hard part is connecting with the seller to see if they want to sell fast or not. letters get unanswered as the homeowner is in denial, dead, in a nursing home, etc.

Hi, I work full time as a registered nurse.

Have my father drive people to and from the casino while my mother does the cooking.

Please advise.QuoteI have a mother and son looking to rent.

Hello everyone, My name is Victor Moga, I am a nursing student (second career), my wife is a nurse practitioner.  

I like both methods, but our travel nurses are a little more stable if your looking for a less turn over rate.

@Bob Bowling One more thing, I just re-read your posting (repetition is the mother of learning) and noted your comment about the average .8% RTV ratio in Hawaii and San Francisco.Based on the rents posted by @Kawika Burgess, the $1M property renting for $4,200/month should either see rent increases to $8K per month, a value decrease to $500K, or some combination of rent increases and decrease in value.Are you expecting rents in Hawaii to double?  

A little about myself: I'm 39 years old, married and a mother to 5 children (yikes!).

A lot of the homes in Utah have basement kitchens and "Mother-in-Law" apartments and I can't imagine they'd turn down lending on the 10% of homes that do?

For my first investment, I was hoping to quit claim, warranty deed or flat out buying a 3 unit property, from my mother, that has about 25k left on the mortgage.
