The deal looked good and met the "sound investment" criteria I was used to so I took the plunge and purchased the properties.What the spreadsheets couldn't prepare me for was the nearly 2-years I spent systematically removing the population of deadbeat tenants and replacing them with tolerable ones.

Other areas which are not viewed as destination areas are the ones who are experiencing some of the deeper price plunges.

I feel like I want to take the plunge just so I can get over the nervous nous of owning rentals.

Hi Family, I have a few more questions before take the investment plunge:- 1.What is the maximum amount of time that you would put into your purchase agreements for its duration to maximize the sale of the property for a newbie?

I just took the plunge and purchased and renovated my first SFH to rent.

Now that I feel more ready to take the plunge, I'm hoping to be more engaged in the community.

So I decided to take the plunge last fall and purchase my 1st flip.

Maybe there is a person from BP in your area who needs some help and could help train you in exchange for helping mow lawns, rake leaves, plunge a toilet or 2 etc.

But, I also know that I have to make the plunge sometime.

Big bank lenders won't consider my small lending request of $50k so I'm now researching local lenders or potentially an online lender like "elend"...before I officially take the plunge, it's back to the drawing board to determine the best lender.
