I'm up at Lake Tahoe in the basin and there are many CA investors that have been investing in Reno, NV because of the low taxes, landlord friendly, and only 30 minutes from Truckee.

Just basic face to face talks with people soon to be friends.

This specific deal was a close friend's apartment that he was renting.

If you need me delete my posts I have no problem I am not trying to give you a bad review.I was offering my opinion based on knowing you are "Not a lender" so for me seasoning and being familiar with guide lines is crucial in offering an investor the right guidance and direction for financing.

I have a friend who is a banker locally, he's seen business bank numbers for 40 years...he know what makes a strong business client and when it is a weak business with some good years.

At 19, your friends may not understand your drive.

Would love to connect with investor friendly real estate agents, other wholesalers, and cash buyers.Looking forward to meeting all of you!

I have friends in Alabama who are brokers and investors and they tell me it's a no brainer to get your license for the access and real-time info it gives you... but just want to cover the bases for Georgia in case it's different over here.
