However, we live in a very small town, so everyone knows everyone else's business.We talk about our rentals with the lady who cleans for us, our friends at church, customers who like to chit chat, contractors we know, just about anyone.

Happy to chat and share what I've learned so far if you're looking to do more of this.If you're up for it, I'd also love to pick your brain on the mod construction at some point - it's an area I'm aware of, but ignorant to.Next time I'm in OB, I'll definitely check the property out!

Also chat with your accountant and maybe an attorney.

I believe critical mass has been achieved, finally, and Oakland will be where everyone wishes they were a month ago.It is critical to be working with an investor-friendly, hyper-local, Top Producing Realtor who knows the neighborhoods and the trends.I invite anyone interested in buy/hold or fix/flip in Oakland to sit down with me for a chat.

Also replace the word "clubs" with "Chat room", "Discussion Forum", etc to find them all.

Only con is the notary cannot and will not explain the legalities behind the paperwork since they are not attorneys and cannot give legal advice.Another option is you can do it with an online notary via webcam (we did that a few months ago, not for a closing, but something else). 

Karen, I suggest we chat on Monday.

Rob : there is a link posted in this chat a few back for picks.Jim you are correct that 4 million dollar property was a great deal and i have gotten a buyer for it.

I've been lucky enough to travel extensively and chat with many guides in other countries as well as with residents and investors in those countries.
