I checked with a couple of  architects, both of them preferred to take a bigger project.

Check out my personal favorite, Set For Life by Scott Trench , or The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. 3.

Check in every month or so.

Head east my friend and check out real estate deals in the great state of Alabama, very low property taxes (0.40%) median home vales $200K with an average annual property tax of $800.

For beauty though RAW beauty the Northern CA coast is FAR superior to the Oregon coast not as much logging and much more pristine and less people.. just check out Shelter cove for instance.

Check in with @Joseph Chiofalo for low down payment and strong investment property loan options.

The numbers seem to check out, but there still a lot to consider that’s over my head… What would you do in my situation?

Further to add on to this I was mailed out a check for my previously owed rent from one unit and check was drafted Sept 1, 2018 I received it last week and when I deposited I get an alert from my bank as well as a call that the check is no good as the party doesn't have funds in it and my bank can only try again to cash the check again on October 1, 2018.

I live in Southern California but my family is from Iowa so I visit regularly and am interested meeting investors in the area.Thanks!
