I leave out sensitive information but I want non-guests to see the video as well

Unlike some folks who are so sensitive they private message others to not be apart of their threads cause their feelings are hurt.

I am currently looking for a single family residence or a small multi-family property in Fresno, CA for me to cut my teeth on.

With stocks, we get to log in, grit our teeth, scream at a screen, all with 0 control, just watch our $ grow or diminish. 

Houses are scarcer than hen's teeth, and there's not much to go around so agents are having a rough time of it.I ran some quick math numbers in my area yesterday and making a whole lot of assumptions (for example, only 40% of all local agents were party to a sale, everything that was available gets sold, etc) the math didn't seem to pencil out very well for agents right now.

They speak great English because they are born and raised here they know the industry say all the right things.. their main target is the dreamers like Ingrid Robinson was/is.. she was in the health field and decided to do a big development up at Clear Lake CA.. which is where i cut my teeth selling RE back in the 70s and my dad in the 60s .. so when i saw that and the property she wanted to develop there on American greed I was stunned.

For a new investor, my suggestion here is to find something where your all in project cost does not exceed 60% of the ARV - there is wiggle room here up to 65% of the ARV, however 60% is a safer bet and will allow you some room for miscalculation, market correction, contingency, etc.As a first timer, look for something easy - I would keep rehab to 15%-20% of the purchase price - something to cut your teeth on that a lender would agree is a good first project.A common issue with first timers is attempting heavy rehab/gut reno projects that may be a great deal, but in reality are riskier for lenders and first timers.Feel free to reach out with any questions, share my experience.

You don't want to be in the middle of a time sensitive transaction where your money is on the line and be working with someone who doesn't answer their phone or is slow to respond to emails.
