It still needed about $40-60k worth of rehab , the closest and most expensive comp was only $320k ..

However, the areas closest to downtown where there are lots of renovations happening would make great candidates for those kinds of plots of land.  

Elderly buyers, excited, , went to the closest realtor,  and  broker to give us  a contract (they were afraid to leave town without us knowing they were serious:(  In fact, when they entered the office and said they wanted a contract drawn on a house they love, he  (not unusual) asked them if he could take them out to show them some houses.  

As of right now I am working on being a bird-dog for him but essentially it will be more of me aiding him and his company in marketing on social media and other channels to both help his company and help me get a better understanding of generating cash buyers and motivated sellers.

The closest thing that I know of is a no-load mutual fund or index fund in U.S. stocks with a long track record of performance, which is above 10% over a long holding period. 

If I do find the house, and the closest I can get is -$400 Cash flow, it is still worth it (Married housing goes from $700-$900 a month vs. putting a down payment 3.5% down plus $400 a month in mortgage costs and expenses)?

If we do the $800 fix, I'm afraid we turn off buyers because it will be (and look like) a band aid on a roof that has 5-10 years left on it. 

Hello-I am curious as to what type of software is popularly used to screen tenants and also to collect rent from tenants using direct deposit.Thanks,Sara

I know this is the LA county forum but it's the closest one to Ventura county.

I love to travel so what I did was to map it and figured the closest towns I could drive in a day!
