Food for thought.

I think most of them are too immature and just don't want the responsibilities of growing up, like paying rent, power, food...  

That is why illegals are given a debit card at the boarder, to "pay" for food and housing.

I just came back from there and really love the city, culture, people, food. , and now wondering what the process might be for acquiring something there, where it might make the most sense, and if the numbers check out in the short and potentially long term.I'd love to connect with anyone who can offer any advice or thoughts would really be tremendous.

@Rob Bergeron are these going to be section 8 type inspections or will they be more of just a safety check?

Just some food for thought.What market are you in?

My investor only had to do repairs from the section 8 inspection that he normally would need to do for the safety of his tenants. 

We ARE a chapter of National REIA, so joining gets the paint discount, cabinet program, and rebate - as well as access to all the other national vendor perks and programs.We're in process of getting local vendors and sponsors lined up as we move forward.Starting in September, meetings will take place in the evening on the 3rd Thursday of each month, 5-9pm, food and non-alcoholic refreshments provided (buy your own booze). 

The beauty is if rents can keep up with expenses then PI remains constant and that is where the appreciation of increasing rents becomes a good thing.Sure overall costs can come in below 50% then that is a safety net.

It's fear based which is a safety mechanism.
