I live in Norwalk, CA and since most of the info that I had read or watched suggested that it's best to start marketing in your own area (to help get familiar with your own market) I've been marketing in Artesia, CA which is less than a mile away.

At my age, my physical body is becoming more limited.

Please click on the links, give them a read, and share your thoughts in the comments.First is a post that I feel will help not get overwhelmed with the amount of info that is here on BP:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/5868/52761-the-simple-guide-to-getting-started-on-bp The second is a post that will help get you focused with your real estate investing goals:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/5868/52743-im-new-to-bp-any-advice-would-be-appriciatedThe last one is a post that will help you choose an “investor friendly” real estate agent.

there is just a ton of debt you have to take on and as we age we get debt adverse.. now in new construction we take on debt of course but we retire it.and yes its a job.. but when its in the right market cycles boy is it a good one  Can make more on one new build in 9 months than a rental house in 20 years.. so its just scale. and what you want to do .. 

Have a general that specializes in them I’m socal maybe he will have that info for you

When you make your pre-offer inspection you might see something obvious during that which makes that decision obvious and its age can give you some concerns about reusing the major components that gives you some concern about that which means you will have to remove sheetrock to repair that. 

Hi everyone,I'm still very green at this and haven't done a deal yet so bear with me and my limited info at the moment, but I wanted to get some initial thoughts on these numbers.

Repairs are going to be somewhere between 5% to 8% depending on age and condition of the property, and the quality of tenants.  

Don't rely on info from a very generalized forum like this for very specific information that you need.

Message me your contact info and I’ll send you what we are looking for!
