If you want to brush up on PML, I suggest you check out my book Lend to Live: Earn Hassle-free, Passive Income in Real Estate with Private Money Lending available on the BiggerPockets book store.

Make sure any additional paperwork that needs to be filed with the court making you the plaintiff is taken care of. 4.

Hi All, I live in NY and I am looking to buy in a hot market.

I currently live in San Diego, so I am interested in my local market also, but I am newer here, so I'm still learning the market. 

Living in MD and moving to AR but am not limited by those locations - have job will travel!

Spending your (I assume) hard earned capital to invest in a place for others to live is a big deal.

We have heard good things about this area and are looking for an investment-friendly agent who has systems in place for out-of-state investors (we lived in Florida for 10 years and moved back to Europe).

The house currently in question, the manager said he had an older couple apply, but they were on fixed income and wanted to sign a two or three year lease so they knew they wouldn't have to move or incur additional expenses.

The down payment and cost is much higher for a strip mall, so it means it would could take me an additional 2 years to save up to purchase a strip mall.

In addition to some Insurance companies pulling from the area, these increases are related to the rising costs of building materials, labor, and frequency of hail storms etc.
