Have a list of 5 great deals in the central florida area.

(And also a little disappointing.)I sure hope that they are totally wrong about Central Florida.

The house is clear of any mortgages, liens (no money is owed for it).We plan to rent out both sides of the property, but we need money to finish the renovations (central ac/heat, carpet).We need roughly $12,000 to finish the house and make it available to renters.My questions are :What would be the best loan to try for Equity loan , HELOC, or a Personal Loan?

Next month i'm going to join a local real estate investment group.I live in central NJ, just graduated college a few years ago and been saving money ever since.

Hi Group,We've got:1-6 plex (full occ)1-Triplex (same)4 SFR's (various cities) most we own outright and we bought at dirt cheap prices.We need to expand...plenty more opportunities out there, and want to centralize as most of these homes are all over the place...Goal: find a way to move our holdings into one centrally located area (Indianapolis is one we have in mind) and sell/transfer move/divest ourselves of these other homes.Issues: We love the cash flow and don't want to fire sale any of this stuff...if we can get a good price and move on to other rehabs we'll do it.Ideas?

:) lol It would be way cheaper than renting and it would allow me full access to the central Florida market.

Great topic Mike.I agree that consumer education is central to anyone having prospects for a future.

Second- if you bought it how much to expand units or X amount of dollars, compared to potential income.HERE they are still building these things as fast as possible,,,they are EVERYWHERE.BUT thinking this is the most return on least repairs your going to find in real estate,,,,no leaky sinks,no clogged toilets,no carpet to replace for every tenant,etc etc etc and generally no neighbors that cant get along,,,or domestic calls to police etc.Here anyway there is no office,no central renting place,,you call a phone number and they give you a key to a numbered unit.

(Unless it's purchased in the name of an LLC with a different hub).Why not use the same strategy and purchase a duplex live in it for a year and use owner occupied financing?

I have only scratched the surface of the forums and articles and am excited to see such good, genuine information.First and foremost, I would love to connect with someone or a few people in California, preferably the Central Coast or Southern California, who are walking the walk as residential and/or commercial property investors and/or wholesalers.I think getting started as a wholesaler would be my best bet.
