@Suny CapezzutoHi Suny,Personally, I don't pay much attention to the 1% rule (although all my properties exceed it).

Hey @Tom thanks for the reply and input, based on a couple of pictures I saw some roof issues that might need attention. 

With unlimited access to the calculators and a ton of pro content to read through/listen to it's a little overwhelming with what to focus my attention on first.

Providing that the Reserve Study was competently produced and is current (should be current in California since that is the law), take a look at the 30-year funding plan paying close attention to the direction of the annual reserve contribution and whether there are any surprises such as future special assessments, bank loans, or large contribution jumps.

Hi everyone,I’ve been a active reader/listener of BiggerPockets forums, podcasts, books etc, for a little while now but have yet to make my first post here.

It was brought to my attention from a fellow REI Matt Gardner How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Get the @David Greene book on "Long distance Real Estate Investing"  and pay attention to the Core 4 he brings up.

I’m looking to do my first deal with the next year and the idea of cash out refinancing my personal home to buy an investment property was brought to my attention.

They usually call me when there is an issue but I know the meter reader pretty good.
