I am new to this beautiful state and I'm looking for other investors to meet with, or just exchange emails and/or phone calls.I am looking for rental properties to invest in.

Good thing you've got beautiful beaches, beautiful women, and beautiful weather to cheer you up over there haha. 

Purchase price: $307,000 Cash invested: $23,000This is a beautiful two bedroom one bathroom south Minneapolis Duplex.

No need to apologize for the lack of knowledge as that is the beauty of why BP is so powerful. 

I sold my beautiful large McMansion (most people's dream home) after reading "Set for Life" 3 times. 

Oxnard is a great place to be as it's close to Ventura, Thousand Oaks, Malibu, beautiful beaches and some great state parks.There are definitely a few differences between Oxnard and Camarillo from a housing expense perspective as Oxnard is about 15-20% less than Camarillo. 

As long as you still have a combo tub/shower that will be beautiful when renovated, I’d go with adding the 2nd floor laundry.  

Also I have went through and replaced all Carpet with hardwood (real stuff not pergo) upgraded all the appliances, remodeled kitchen, granite counter tops and decorative mosaic backsplash and some minor tile work in master bath.

Specifically, I'd add into the underwriting a management fee of 5% (even if you're managing and paying/not paying yourself - any bank will add this in anyway in case something happens to you and they need to make sure the property stands on its own), a cleaning/decorating fee for turnover another $300 per unit, a miscellaneous/reserves fee of $300 per unit per year and maybe even consider adding a janitor fee, although this could be covered by manager since it's 8 units only...

It's a beautiful thing if you have it.Also, you might be able to just get a loan for a new house purchase.
