My feeling is if you have a choice try to be on one of the coasts for fun and beauty and try to get in the southern half of the state.

You have to be smart enough to know when your trusted experts are actually pulling the wool over your eyes and/or giving you bad advice.All things being equal, you should put your own eyeballs on this house and the surrounding neighborhoods.

@Alice K.Do you think it would be smart to set up two different emails?

If your investor is smart, I will have you paint everything and clean the gutters half way and launch a complain, I will then (as the investor) get all my money back plus interests, CSLB will do it for me, all I have to do is launch a complain.

I've lived in the neighborhood close to 10 years now and, perhaps naively, thought that even if the investment metrics didn't show that it were a stellar choice, the location might serve to make it worthwhile given the demand and momentum which exists in RE here locally.The analysis below shows how things look for both 15yr and 30yr financing, and I'm curious to know how people weigh that choice.

I work in the corporate world and make good money now but am looking at Real Estate investing as supplemental, and potentially replacement, income to expedite my journey to financial independence.Looking forward to this adventure and learning from all of you smart folks!!

The city council and investors have been smart in laying a strong foundation for future growth.6.

Sometimes it is deliberate choice, sometimes it is simply bank/servicer inefficiency.

Success is a process, failure is a choice

We take a long view of our business and rarely sell to newbies, and if we do, we limit their choices to houses that a newbie can be successful on.
