(Fingers crossed) How many rentals do you think that would take you to reach your goal?

It’s like using a power tool with a safety guide, yeah you can get around the safety (loan qualifications, bank overlays) but unless you know what you’re doing, the alternatives (hard money, etc) could have you ending up with 9 fingers.

I also acquired the tenant which was extremely stressful in the beginning but happens to be the best tenant ever (fingers crossed).

I havent done a solo deal as of yet and crossing my fingers still on that JV deal.

I fat fingered that one and hit the wrong number. but thank you to everyone who pointed that out.

Fingers crossed.Looking forward to your updates.Warren

I am looking into areas outside my native market (southern California, mainly LA), to diversify and enjoy a bit more cash flow (looking into Ohio and finding some good stuff, taking a Cleveland trip soon), BUT I find it crazy when people here point fingers at those of us in this market for taking on deals with lower cap rates in OK but improving areas and considerable rehab and valuable potential.

I had one seller back out at closing, and lots of deals slip through my fingers for various reasons like, "Oh, I sold the house to so-and-so," after I first had it under contract and allowed them to drag their feet.

Everything else that is desired is just mid 200's for the most part and even then everything is put on contract at the snap of a finger. 

The last 2 bills came in high, but my PM found a leak that has been fixed, so I'm crossing fingers that the utility rate will return to normal next month.
