The unit was a foreclosure and will cash flow well but I do have some long term worries about special assessment that could potential kill the long term investment viability.

I hope to get some great info in making significance progress in my income in the next 5 yrs. it is great to meet you all

Let me know if you make progress on that Hemet property.thanks,Matt

Assessing financing options now but looking at "traditional" 15 yr at 3.25%. 25% down.Finally, I am assessing two other duplexes.

How do you assess the lots value?

What they are asking is well below the total assessed value of all the lots and the church property put togeather.

I do have Biggerpockets to thank for progress so far.I hired a general contractor, thanks to a referral from a BP member and I met with another seasoned investor on BP who gave me some pointers and encouragement.The general contractor, seems very committed to getting the units occupied as soon as possible.

See if any of that works for you.I have no idea what Ben's program might be or anything about it's value, no assessment here.

Could you honestly assess a bunch of holes in the wall, broken light fixture, and other stuff on the spot?

Be sure to let us know what you decide and keep us updated on your progress into REI.
