Get off the bench and play the game!!

Caribbean Wawrzyniak (cool name by the way),if you are waiting for quality properties to be found on Zilliow or any other public App or website,you are not even gonna get off the bench let alone play the real estate game with the rest of us in SoCal.Bu the time you see it,I have already meet the seller,inspected the property,and made an offer.Your agent is ducking you,they simply have nothing to tell you because the rest of us got there first.How?

When the loans are paid off, keep funneling that same amount of money from the loan payments into your "seed money" pot and work your plan hard. 

into one pot and move on to the next project--ideally a multifamily. 

I was going to take a cheap pot shot at California liberals in general, but may be some other time..LOL 

After we closed on the deal, we went in got some measurements, took pics, met with the girls that currently worked there and got a plan in mind.The salon was running itself, so for 2 months we stained wood, built benches and seating, put all of the old equipment up for sale.

I am trying to get a rough idea of how many hours it will take my contractor to remodel my bathroom so that i can get an idea of what i will be paying in labor.I am most likely going to paying between $40-60 per hourDetails:L:10ft, W: 8ft, H: 8Ft.Tearing out old bathtub and wall tiles in bath tub areaTear out ceramic tile floorsPaint vanity and install new countertop New fixturesFrame walk in shower where the tub wasFrame bench inside showerbuild trench draininstall recessed lighting in showertile shower up to ceilingInstall shower glasstile bathroom floorinstall new base boardsinstall new door

Just because you put thousands in the pot to invest doesn’t mean it’s not labor.

I then left him with the advice to try and find a realtor and maybe market it himself on craigslist but to beware because that is where newbie investors that don't have a pot to you know what in go to search for their first deal so he will likely get a lot of calls from people that can't really close or have no clue what they are doing.I just wanted to help the guy out and build some trust in case he changes his mind later on down the road.

Brian, thanks for sharing your success story and in such detail (just happened to make a fresh pot!).
