So let me give you some "team building" advice and direction.I just completed a webinar on building your note team....no sales, just pure content on some of the top vendors you need to have in your corner when it comes to note investing....I provide a quick overview of what each vendor does along with names and contact info for:Due Diligence, Values, Collateral Review, Title, Servicing, Loss Mitigation, Insurance and the Hardest Hit Funds vendors.Tell em Scott Carson sent you!

I'm talking about pure cash flow.  

Hey guys,I'd be interested in meeting up with local Bigger Pockets members and learning a little bit more about each and every one of you.Please feel free to send me a direct email if you guys decide on a date and time.Email: [email protected] - Side note: My partners and I hold a monthly (every first Thursday of the month) SFBREIA mixer dedicated purely towards networking.We have one coming up next Thursday 9/4/13.

That is pure speculation--I have no clue about other places really :)

Not many of us but pure networking and brain storming, no one is there to sell anything.  

I have seen a few predictions that GDP growth will turn positive (negative at the moment) in the next year or so, but I am not really sure what the explanation is other than fiscal policy by a new prez (and this is purely speculative). 

LOL.But to your comment, that can be said about basically anywhere in the country.I understand that due diligence is in order but on purely a cash flow perspective at those prices and market rents any property would be a good deal if the vacancies are manageable.

You're proposing doing (let's say) 4 or 5 of these kinds of deals at once (which would be impossible since most distressed sellers can't/won't entertain this), rather than one pure cash deal (in order to utilize the same amount of available cash and have the ROI's be "comparable" in any real sense).

The steps Chris highlighted which I have already carried out shows me that most franchises use a puree as opposed to fresh fruit and this was not the idea I had in mind.Part of every running group I have belonged to requires what is called a bag drop.

I currently have a condo that I used to live in and rent now but this duplex would be my first jump into a purely investment property.2 Unit rowhome in Washington DC (Top bottom).
