We all like that home run deal, especially me, but it’s comforting to have a nice property that we both know is in the path of progress, and will appreciate in both value and rental price in due time!

I think that is perfect.....I would start by taking the first class...maybe principals of real estate, then take another and another and see if you like the classes, see if you pass and then as long as you are progressing, then take the test to get your license. 

I was able to secure 2.875% 5/5 ARM with Travis credit union in the bay area (the rate and credit has worsen since I locked it), but they only take 4 loans from an investor,Does anyone know of any other credit unions which could be in this range?

And although have not found any source, saying that computer tech sector will continue in a Recession, I expect it will, due to the U.S. is progressively being run by this.

****What I'm coming to the BP community asking is what are some good markets to look in, just tips to get our search started:-  Looking for AirBNB friendly areas (I'm from OR so we have a mix of short term friendly and then some VERY unfriendly counties / cities)-  Path of progress / growing markets-  Thoughts on Tucson itselfThank you!

I'm excited to see the progress of your career! 

I'm gonna follow you to watch your progress and take notes!

Hey @Art Johnson,Glad you're making progress.

Allowing him more expensive rent will only worsen the situation.

Lenders will want a rehab plan as part of the process to agree to the loan amount to and also to track against progress, they'll also require you have cash liquidity at closing so that you can initially pay for the work and materials in the rehab.
