A month later, i've been on biggerpockets.com every day reading, listening to podcasts, searching, creating a raging fire and a urgency to finally dive into real estate.

This in part/full is to cover costs associated with ensuring the buyer receives copies of the HOA governing documents and a Status Letter (no more than a final billing statement indicating the home owner's financial status with the HOA).

The upstairs unit has been rented out for about 6 years now and last week I finally made the decision to move and now the downstairs unit is rented as well.I have equity in the home, the rental income will cover mortgage, insurance, taxes AND my son's school tuition.My next step is to finally get that first wholesale property under contract and start looking for another multi-family unit I can move into while renting out the remaining units.BTW, I am looking in Santa Cruz - so if you know of anything let me know!

Hey all,I'm finally at the point where I'm going to file for my LLC.

We've been looking at properties and placing (rejected) offers all summer, and are finally in contract!

This is the final product.

@Vivian Hernandez it is always the last wednesday of the month, so the january meeting will be on the 28th.I am trying to nail down a date to host the "intermediate meetup" as it is being termed.

I understand the process going into it all and I don't have a problem with the whole process I just think that at the end of it all when they list the FINAL date they should not be able to do anything after that point.Things are going very smooth for me & think maybe I'm just getting over excited because its almost finished:-) 

You will want all this sorted out before you finalize an offer.

@Ryan Gillette absolutely nailed it for you, @Colin Wood.
