This strategy will be more pleasant for you and your girlfriend than having to deal with roommates.

Hi all - I would love to kick off an intimate weekly zoom group to connect with others just starting out.

In this finite world we live in, time is the most important aspect of life to me.

I was able to get it done in time :-)

The problem is that, you look backwards in time and people look smart.  

The inspectors have to CYA themselves and they don't care what it costs you in time and money and occasionally they just plain don't care.

As we continue to move forward in time, more will begin to expire.

You are right about having intimate market knowledge.Even within Avondale, there are blocks that I won't buy in.Intimate market knowledge from personal experience and being local beats sophisticated market analyses done by big equity firms.

But, i've helped too many people invest for their first in times in urban/low income areas, and seen it WORK, so will always let people know despite the advice of the "successful investors" to avoid these areas - they are missing out on a low cost entry to real estate investing.

Whatever you do get very intimate with your farm area.
