I live in Mississippi but willing to invest in surrounding states.

Being appraisers, we are familiar with estimating "cost to cure" of deficiencies, and we know useful life of short lived items so we can build seller credits into our offers that will help mitigate monthly costs to us for reserves.We are going to take it slow and steady, as I said, with an eye on returns that may not be spectacular but still rival the stock market in a sector of the economy we know well.Thanks for the encouragement @Dave Meyer!!

I live outside of Winnipeg, but would be willing to travel for meetups.

I read you have to live in the home, but was unsure if we would qualify. 

I really think the " QUESTION" is do you raise rents... if you do you keep up with inflation, if you don't your a charity,, Does the gas station at the corner care if you drive a beater or a new car??

I live in Ca, but I’m looking to learn all about Washington state (Seattle) markets. 

The cost of living is extremely low compared to other cities and you can still many many positive cash flowing and 1% deals here.

They get their fee and feel they have to justify that fee by scaring the living sh** out of a prospective buyer.

Earning a living in real estate is difficult, which is why nearly 90% of all agents let their license go within two years.

You'll pay no tax on gains below $250k (single) or $500k (married) if you lived there for 2/5 previous years.
