I really like San Pedro and find it really charming and relatively inexpensive compared to other coastal SoCal.

I love real estate and helping others.

Hi all,My name is Ash Ogunleye, from Chicago, IL. I'm a former Real Estate Wholesaler and Leasing Agent who was actually a member here years ago. While I'm a Digital Marketer by profession now, I'm looking to get back...

Obviously jealous of our wit, charm, and stunning good looks. j/k.I think Account Closed (the notion of the slumlord and unscrupulous robber baron is still deep in our psyche).One thing I notice is how little people understand who or what their LL is. 

After we refinance and put it on a 30 year note, it will cash flow about $400/month, put $30K cash in our pocket (to reinvest), and we will still have $45K equity in a property that we have nothing in - not to mention the tax benefits we gain from depreciation.This is why I love real estate.

I have a number of old historic houses that would cost a fortune to rebuild, but there old historic charm adds little value in the college town so insuring a property for 2X what its worth doesn't make sense to me. 

Start networking with local lenders and see who you can charm! 

I guess the fifth time is the charm explaining all this to this guy.

All of these options create rooms full of people who love real estate which makes them a room full of awesome contacts and maybe even potential partners. 

There's definitely something different meeting in person than online, you get to use charm and influence which you can't really do online.
