Maker sure you analyse the area you are mailing to and also maybe do more for diligence in those homes.

I am seeking for creating a local network and to close my first rental deal in the following months (assuming I find something that makes sense for me of course).Thanks to everybody in this community, BP greatly contribute to make real estate investment a lot more accessible and this is incredible.PS: I have obviously a lot to learn but if anybody is seeking to get into a fairly appreciating market and consider Seattle as a place to be I will be more than happy to connect and have a chat with you.

While REI is a lot of numbers it also includes real people who make really irrational/rational decisions.

This could potentially be a good profit maker.

Since I ultimately want to make real estate a large part of my portfolio, I want to at least consider the location when I accept another job.

It always hits me when I go back country camping and watch the sun rise while enjoying a coffee - everything I really need fits in my backpack (including a micro coffe maker)!

This could be the difference maker on whether your property will ever cash flow, or if you will be dumping tens of thousands of dollars into a project that turns out to be a dud. 

Somewhere that you can build a relationship with a decision maker at the bank and you're not just another number to them.

I think you might be a trouble maker!

Suggest you go to Bill Tan's LA and Asian REIA meeting and talk to deal makers in your area.
