Do you have questions about transportation?

There are a lot more grey areas with commercial - again when in doubt make friends with a local attorney :)

I would suggest finding an investor friendly contractor who understands the difference of the scope between a flip and a rental and preferably is an investor themselves.

Those cost in terms of lost rent, but also cleaning out the stuff that was left behind.If your place is managed by a PM, expect a 1 month vacancy (only once I have had no vacancy with my PM manage places, and once I had 2 months as they messed up and held it for a person-friend of the owner-who didn't put down a deposit and then they dropped the ball). 

Today, these folks are my core network and absolute best friends.

I've looked heavily at Bakersfield myself, and have some friends there.

Although I plan to invest my own money in the long term, for now, I’m aiming to work as an investor-friendly agent.I’d love to connect with other investor-friendly agents or brokerages in Central Virginia.

I had a project bite me in the butt because I wasn't more diligent in "checking in" on the contractor.If you need any help or additional advice, feel free to reach out I have helped a lot of my investor friends purchase properties in other counties in California.

A friend recently asked me to compare two Houston zip codes, 77008 and 77063, from an investment perspective.Now, I'm a big fan of Texas, but the first thing I said to him was that the weather is HORRENDOUS.

You can get money from family and friends, you can get the seller to provide financing, often called "Seller Financing" or a "Seller Carry" or you can get a lender to lend you close to all of the money needed (I see loans at and above 90% of purchase cost + 100% of improvements).
