My name is Ozzy Reynolds and I am a new member from Henderson, NV (just outside of Las Vegas).Although I have been a one property landlord for about 17 years, I have never labeled myself as an investor.

In other words, please take a look at the "ingredients" below and help me figure out what different options might be cooked up: A husband, wife, and their 2 young children currently renting an apt. in SoCal want to:1. own, or co-own a duplex, triplex, or quadplex somewhere in the San Gabriel, San Fernando, or Santa Clarita Valley (and if not that, then they'd like to at least stay in LA County).

I assumed it wasn't PC to make such generalizations.the truth is that the map should be labeled "the wire" a lot more than it was, but the mapmaker felt like he/she needed to mix it up.

I do not believe you can place me in any certain label.

Now that lenders in Miami are labeling even the nice areas as "distressed" and then only lending up to 60% ltv, sales prices are going to keep going lower.

engraved on their tombstone as we traded stories about our respective mentors.I never liked the term flipper because it was a derogatory label popularized by the media to stir up controversy.

A great job that I enjoy and all the key ingredients I needed (salary, reserves, etc) to pick up 18 homes and counting in the past 6 years.And I have to say that the one quote I tend to use for how I was able to do what I've done:"Where there's chaos, there's opportunity."

Right now, what is labeled 'third street' is undeveloped.Any takers out there?

The key ingredient that you need to be able to identify is seller motivation.

That is your label and a personal view.
