I have also been receiving bi-weekly emails regarding articles and there is without a doubt countless forum topics to participate in.In terms of keyword alerts, yes, I have set them up and I can see how that can be a powerful tool going forward.I appreciate the heads-up regarding the Black Diamond event in Worcester on Tuesday night.

BP is definitely the best place to be to learn about REI, without a doubt.

I am up for using conventional or FHA loans, but because I'm currently "self-employed," as a full-time real estate investor and don't have any deals under my belt as of yet, I'm doubting I'll have much luck getting them for now.

I wonder how many of us have been compelled to click on this post, no doubt due to the "ignore please"....... :)

So I wouldn't doubt you can't qualify until you speak to anortgsge broker.

Furthermore, I doubt that the pier is physically tied via post-installed anchors so there's no lateral resistance or moment transfer.

I doubt they are significantly misrepresenting income or expenses in the important categories.

The fear of inaction has overcome my doubts and worries about real estate, and I can't wait to take the plunge!

-I was told that you can't put down cement base self leveling underlayment over the hard wood because of how the hardwood moves it would just break up-where the two woods come together the wood gives quite a bit when you step on it.Do I rip out the existing hardwood and start over from the subfloor, where I could put down self leveling if needed.

Quote from @Marvin Michel: Hi Marvin,It looks like a solid class C minus rental with 1 br 1 bath.I doubt this will bring top of the market rents, but if you can attract 2 long term renters who get along well it looks like easy money.What I see is it looks dumpy from the street view, but its in a a pretty nice neighborhood of well kept up, MAINLY White painted houses.Maybe blend it to the neighborhood by painting it white vs. what looks like the teal-ish color so popular in Mexico for homes (although maybe that's you target market and if so leave it).It's not going to pull top of the market rents though, because for a class C minus there is no dedicated bedroom and the bathrooms in the competition are probably better.If this were in Austin (with it's high demand right now) it would rent.The giant patches on the inside walls, the shotgun floor plan, the lack of a dedicated bedroom, the bathrooms seem less than competitive.
