I have been doing some education regarding the REI thru multiple books but still there are some gaps on understanding the numbers, property valuation etc. which i believe doesn't make sense until i actually make a deal work.

I google'd around for the USPAP standards after reading why he said it was a duplex, and sure enough it was a duplex according to USPAP standards, sorry agent, sorry seller, and sorry county of Alameda (he was super liberal with market rents on the 2 units that he had to call 1 unit, because it was one GIANT unit, so the rental income was actually fine). 3.

I actually joined BP a little less than a year ago so I am not new to this site, but, this is the very first post I am posting, so, I am very glad to introduce myself here.I've recently quitted (finished my last day two days ago) my full time job in the heavy construction industry, which I had worked in for the past 10 years as a construction safety manager.

Actually went up.

I actually had a realtor reach out to me from this thread and offer to answer my questions as they come.

That leaves 60% to cover the actual costs of mortgage, taxes, insurance....oh, and you do want to make money on it right?
