Have any of you that have been in the game started by Funding JV deals?

Prepare some specific questions for those you have discovered are playing in the space you want to play in. 4th meeting: prepare some business cards with your contact info, and what you’re interested.

That will be a total game changer for you when you know what you can look for and afford.And@Shawn Q. suggesting you live with family or friends while you look for a place to owner occupy is a great way to save money for that down payment. 

If the property is in CA, you may have some appreciation play as well.

I just don't think that's how the game is played- it comes off as a little greedy.

Of course capital gains taxes don't come into play if you never sell. 

As they currently sit, with no updates or value add plays, we are looking at cap rates of 8.5 on a 1 million dollar price tag, 9.6 on a 2 million price tag, and 9.1 on a 1.2 million price tag.

Get a few properties under you belt, cash flowing and then you can move where ever you want to settle down.Your scenarios would get you at least 4 houses maybe 6 if you play it right in places like Indiana, Ohio, and so on.

@Paul YousefI had to read your post several times as I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.

I'm going down to Triple play on Tuesday until Wednesday evening?
