I am currently going for my masters in nursing, going to have my nurse practitioner license in 5months or so. in my neck of woods we can make halfway decent in my area (75000-150000) but usually 80-120 per year. i love my clinicals and will love this job when i graduate.

I am looking to expand the rehabbing side of my business and hope to make some connections with some local wholesalers because the MLS deals are drying up a bit in my neck of the woods.Looking forward to learning from everyone here on the forums as well as offering help to people as well.

Welcome to BP Lorenzo, I think there are others here from your neck of the woods.

Paying $70K is a lot for only $850 in rent, especially when the HOA is $200 (and an endless pain in your neck.

They love the house so much, that the wife cried and hugged my neck when I handed her the key after the pre-move walk-through.

My disclaimer.....I don't know anything about the BC market, laws or lending issues in your neck of the woods!

If you want to put your neck out and beat them and buy for $81,000, this may be the usually huge difference between profiting and losing a ton of money.

Tenants that are morons"Professional" contractorsCrazy neighborsPencil necks at the city ordinance departmentReal estate agents that think rent minus PITI equals cashflow

Although, I'm not sure that I would put up half the down payment, if I had to be the one sticking my neck out with the loan.

I'm looking at MLS listings, because I'm not finding private motivated sellers in my neck of the woods.
