I'm looking forward to soaking up lots more real estate investing savvy from everyone, and hopefully learning enough as time goes on to be able to give back in a meaningful way.My husband Corey and I are moving from Nevada to return to our farm country roots and take the leap to full time real estate investing in the Twin Falls, Idaho area!

I am a 31 year old energetic young man , well spoken and very enthusiastic and i would like to learn all there is from grass roots level 

Just get a septic inspection and a few estimates to present to the bank I did that on a property a while back and got a reduced price I also got a 3 bid afterwards and found out the septic was still good just some roots in the line You should get the property under contract and then present the reports during your due diligence period.

You never want to BUY your cashflow which is the root of this issues.

A lot of changes are happening in various areas of the city, the police are patrolling more, neighbors are forming task force to reduce crime, business are moving in & increasing property values.You need to remember, some people live in these areas because that is where they grew up, that is where they feel comfortable with, they have family there, their roots are there,  A lot of these areas have really good people living there who are trying to get by.

Lisa, I think having a grass roots knowledge of your hyper local area is a critical and necessary skill that must be developed and honed into perfection.

You will not learn everything  but trial and root is the name of the game.

So because of this, shorts on performing loans exist but are few in numbers and have roots in future default risk and recoverability.

Thank you Dick, ...for the welcome and the encouragement.I look forward to hearing from you again.My family has southern roots.

These folks are so deeply rooted, it is extremely difficult to fight them.So we just work within their political system.
