I understand there is a cost to have it burned down. the home would have to be prepped to to meet the requirements for permitting.

Hi all, and nice to meet everyone.

Quote from @Theodore Sutton: Check out the site meetup.com and also the events page on BP for meetings up in your area to meet people like this and build relationships.

I will contact you and set up a meeting.

We had our Podio custom-built to meet our specific requirements, systems, and procedures.

The ideal property would meet the above criteria, AND would have a large yard, or ideally, a detached garage that was a suitable candidate for an ADU construction project (CO now allows ADU construction on most properties), and/or a primary structure that had lots of value-add potential. 

If I had a good tenant and they continue to be a good tenant, I don't care where they legally get their money from.I agree that most S8 do not meet my criteria even without considering the source of the income.However, we have another policy that also works against S8.  

Meet other investors in your area and stay in touch with them; you can ask them questions that might prevent problems.Best to you!

Your job is to keep tightening it up (geographically and based on asset type) and meeting investors until you have a buy box that makes sense for you.There is also no point to running deals through a calculator if you are seeing them.

and if the client would prefer, for example, a specific plumber, that's fine as long as they meet our criteria, which 9 times out of 10 they do.
