We'll see you on the broadcast my friend!

The owner is a good friend of ours and agreed to do a deal with us if we helped him rehab the property.

You want investors who can help you and telling you where to invest when you are allegedly open to the whole country is impossible.Make a list of places you have a competitive advantage (where you've lived, where your friends and family live, and places you have been that you loved) and then use a list from Dave Meyer or someone else who crunches the data and see where there is overlap.

The new build Homes i recommend are fairly cheap and the HOAs are investor friendly with no restrictions to rent. 

The reason im looking there is because I have some family/friends who I can trust to look over stuff for me if needed.

An investor friend offered me first crack at buying his paid-for 5bd/3ba SFH that appraises for $500k and is currently rented for $3k/month on a 12-month lease.

You have to find a property manager whose investor friendly and is good with communication - that's a non-negotiable for me especially when I refer them to my clients here in Columbus Ohio.

Have a friend list the property with a price or requirement that no one can or will meet, list the property for a couple of weeks then cancel the listing.

Building your team with an investor friendly lender and agent will be a great start and BP can help with that too!

We work with investors on 1-4 units throughout CA & OR and would be happy to support your search or refer you to a friend.
