Lots of advice given here, and each has of course it’s pros and cons.

In Phoenix, a 1996 build is practically brand new when compared to a WWI-era home in Cleveland or Pittsburgh or some other Midwest or East coast city.While I agree that older homes come with more problems, buying something newer may not work as the price will be higher and won't cash flow as well.I'm of the mindset to buy what fits your budget and investment goals.

Next, I'd start looking for a market that will fit your needs & do some research on the market's economic divers / population rates & other things pushing the market to grow & take a trip out there to get a lay of the land. 

Of course the insurance companies will flee California , they are going to lose money if they cant raise the rates to cover the risk , everything else has gone up why cant insurance go up to keep up . 

Make sure they will easily fit with your small trash bags.

The course curriculum is awesome for getting a deep dive into capital raising and its definitely valuable if you’re looking to focus in that realm of the investment world. 

AS noted we have two small positions and communication is very good reports are on time K 1s are on time.. of course we will see how it all ends up .. but for day to day operations compared to the horror stories you are hearing about other syndicators they are doing very well.Thanks!

I am going to be the contrarian on this subject.. 1. the pre license course is valuable as it teach's the vocabulary of real estate and the basic laws of your state.. its dirt cheap and one of the better ways to build your foundation. 2.

It is of course courteous of you to give them lenience, especially in a situation like that, but at the end of the day bills are due And you have to pay them too.

Not saying anyone on BP would do that of course but you know real estate is full of shysters and plain old criminals. :)
