However I was able to find the following that we all agreed on:A GOOD CPAAN EXCELLENT  probate/trust ATTY An excellent RE agentWith the above and and a *lot* of teeth knashing and fighting we were miraculously able to come to an agreement we all could live with.

But BP Podcast 73 with Mehran Kamari opened my eyes to out of state investing when you're faced with a local market like LA so long as you have "boots on the ground" in the other state.For someone like me who is just starting off, with a decent income, should I go for the expensive LA rental if the numbers somehow miraculously work or is it wiser to partner and look towards out of state hot spots given the full time job situation?

You will regret buying anything, and lose a lot of money within 5 years, unless the government miraculously becomes better.

Unless you have the unicorn block basement that miraculously does not leak through the cracks, you have water in those cores whether it's noticeable from the inside or not (it's what it does).

hi allthanks for everything, we decided to put an offer. it's a long shot.most likely going to be rejected, but this can't be an emotional buy for me.if this doesn't work out, I'm going to focus my attention on other opportunities in my area.If it miraculously works out, I will post details... but I highly doubt.Thanks a bunch

Miraculously she finally contacted me. 

I've had several times when I reminded the tenant of the lock-out fee and they miraculously found a key!  

I would check credit scores and criminal background check all these tenants they managed to miraculously add.

Running the numbers even if I miraculously got one of these houses for 20% below market value for say $130...the numbers still don't add up to a good positive cash flow.

They can miraculously be "lost" "eaten by the dog" or "stolen by aliens" who never seem to take them back to their space ship but only as far as the nearest pawn shop.
