Hi, @Colton Taylor.There used to be Central AR Real Estate Investors Association (CAREIA) that was pretty active. 

Hello BiggerPocketeers...I am seeking information on investing in a property in Desert Hot Springs, California.

I don't think that having a hide and seek mentality is the best way to run your business.

I market to investment property and am very active both as an agent and investor here in Oregon. 

@Sam Besong Wholesaling as you are practicing it is illegal in Massachusetts unless you have a license to sell real estate.Here is Mass General Laws, Title XVI, Chapter 112, Sec. 87pp, describing the activities that require a license:"''Real estate broker'', hereinafter referred to as broker, any person who for another person and for a fee, commission or other valuable consideration, or with the intention or in the expectation or upon the promise of receiving or collecting a fee, commission or other valuable consideration, does any of the following: sells, exchanges, purchases, rents or leases, or negotiates, or offers, attempts or agrees to negotiate the sale, exchange, purchase, rental or leasing of any real estate, or lists or offers, attempts or agrees to list any real estate, or buys or offers to buy, sells or offers to sell or otherwise deals in options on real estate, or advertises or holds himself out as engaged in the business of selling, exchanging, purchasing, renting or leasing real estate, or assists or directs in the procuring of prospects or the negotiation or completion of any agreement or transaction which results or is intended to result in the sale, exchange, purchase, leasing or renting of any real estate."

Theoretical market rent and tenants actively paying rent are two very different things.Your upfront costs are going to be substantially higher with no tenants.

Hello BP,What you do think is the best market for real estate near an Active AFB and why?

I actively attend many different meetings in the Baltimore Area, though I am working to expand to the DC area.

At this point, I decided to raise the listing price because I would probably end up losing money on the deal otherwise.So far, I'm thinking that we won't be able to find a buyer very soon who would pay the price I'm seeking, so I'm holding the property for rental.

I just got under contract for this 5BED/2BATH w/mother in law unIt property where the numbers run great with almost $600 of net cash flow a month, which I believe to be decent for my first investment property, BUT there are a couple things I ran into and am seeking advice for. 1) During inspection, we found a few hazardous things on the property, that would need a $20k fix.
