This topic is a Joe special! 

I posted lots of times many other area groups that meet and discuss different topics in real estate.   

Jayden,Very interesting topic of discussion.

GREAT Topic,Make sure you know exactly what you want done on this home @ New floor coverings, new kitchen, counter tops, new lights, new bathroom fixtures.New paint , @ tone paint, etc, etc,Because  you holding on to it as a rental make sure you get at least 10 year materials and product, namely floors and plumbing faucets.  

Again, my experience is those w/o a lot of experience have a lot of opinions on the topic. 

Or any specific episodes of the bigger pockets podcast on the topic would be helpful.

Hello all, I am finding a lack of groups to meet like minded people in both Financial Independence and REI topics - that don't cost money and isn't a sales pitch.

@Kevin Jung, getting off topic a bit.
