Good friend has owned the second largest (if they never hit #1, it changes almost daily) real estate companies in the state and highly ranked nationally.

You are forgetting the largest waste of money.

We are one of the largest Associations for investors in the nation and have meetings all over Puget Sound.

Trying to contact them about something that you do not have anything to do with is difficult at best.A local/regional bank owned, you have a shot, but Bank of America is basically the largest bank in the U.S., hence the lol.

As a LO for the largest US lender this is an FHA loan.

Wells Fargo is one of the largest HELOC providers in the nation.

I know some title companies in Chicago do want to see the separation by 2-3 days, but again that is a situation where they are not competent or comfortable enough that they can document that there were two distinct transactions which were separately funded, the first by you with transactional funding and the second with other funds from your end buyer.

But I got caught in some interesting stuff.Sure, Bay Area, LA, Sacramento have scary prices like 3 bedroom houses for $1M and rent at 3,000.00 (far from the basic 1%), but I looked over cities like Fresno - the fifth largest in California, with 500k+ habitants and a lot of good looking demographic and economics numbers - and I've found several properties in the 100 ~ 200k range with some close to %1 rental numbers.http://www.trulia.com/real_estate/Fresno-Californi...http://www.zillow.com/fresno-ca/http://www.city-data.com/city/Fresno-California.ht...Fresno is just one city and California is a big state.

The owner is the largest tenant with 2,120 sq ft, another tenant has 1,606 sq ft, balance (3) are all less than 400 sq ft, vacant office of 350 sf. with the balance being common elements, corridors, stairways, elevators, bathrooms, kitchen, etc.Gross rental income per the listing agent is $108,660, expenses are $41,225 annual condo fee (CAM) which includes electric, water/sewer, janitorial and property management, the estimated new property taxes are $15,500, and insurance approx. $2000.All tenants' leases are 1 year and/or have less than 1 year remaining.The property was purchased by the seller in 2011 for $350,000.

Vacancies are your largest expense.
