Trying to get a split level (not a lot of sqft) on the market in the next three weeks and trying to decide on whether to open the wall between the dining and living room for a feel of openness or leave it as I have heard from two interior designers that the open concept is on the way out as we are more at home and liking our separate areas in the home.Pragmatically speaking the opening of the wall will be mostly a time drain with it being a load bearing wall and having to support the ceiling while rebuilding and all the drywalling necessary.

I would tell them once they contact the credit agencies and correct all the information, they are welcome to apply. 

I deal with a number of CA investors that take this same approach. 

Hi All,I have a SF LTR that I’m self-managing on the passive side.

Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

Is there anyone in your local market you could take out to lunch who does flips?

maybe they would do a subject to and have you take over their mortgage payments - do they have a good interest rate? 

I can definitely attribute a lot of my success over the last few years due to the connections I made on Bigger Pockets and the things I've just simply learned by listening to and reading all the great info available here!

I cant see buying acers of undeveloped land with 70k..Best thing you can do is take your money and partner with someone whos crushing it and joint venture on deals together.
