Then find "boots on the ground in SJ" who know the city ... in the interim, feel free to bounce any seriously considered deals off me.As a long-distance investor, I would strongly recommend you stay away from Indian Town (North end) .. there are a lot of "cheap" buildings there, but the prospects for the area are muted.

A vendor bounced $16,000 in checks to me which caused issues, 2-3 months without an income using savings to survive (barely), Irma trashed a $36,000 contract; you get the picture.I've never missed a rent payment, the house is going to be left in better condition than when I moved in.

I would really like to find someone locally to bounce ideas off of, but really feel like I just need to do something after 2 years of over analyzing.

We were both bouncing ideas back and forth on ways to make my situation work.So the ARV absolutely got their attention. 

But just recently I had 4 bounced checks from tenants.

I said I would be open to it.I need to talk it over with a lawyer of course, but before I do I thought I'd bounce the idea off of everyone here first and get my ducks in a row.Here is how I am thinking of doing it....

If any of you have stories that you have had to bounce back from that you think would benefit the newer members please feel free to share. 

I have done a few cashouts. my lender will take 75% of the rental rate and bounce that against what the new mortgage will be. as long as its higher then it's a go.

Hi all,I have a question to bounce off the community.

You may find it with buy & holds right away or have to bounce around til you find what you love.
