@Scott RaleyEvery week I analyze every single 2-4 unit property on the market from Placer County all the way down to Merced, and run all the numbers like 1% Test, CoC Return, Gross Annual Yield, etc.

@Peter GroteThe majority of the investors I know have people known as "bird dogs" who run around town looking for diamonds in the rough.

Take it and run with it. 

I'd be happy to send you some information about the area and purchse and hold data about our line of multi-family investment properties.The short version is we've got one of the healthiest long term economic outlooks in the country, our developments and management make it 100% turn key (the check is literally in the mail, for your positive cash flow every month) and it's all new construction running at a 7.5% cap rate.Let me know if you are interested.

You may also want to run your particular scenario past your loan office.

My biggest fear is working with a lousy general contractor (takes money and runs, shoddy work, slow, cost overrun, etc.)Would anyone be kind enough to share how they approach this?

If this smell is there because the tenant will not run the dehumidifier that is not your fault.

In this section we will discuss how to better understand the asset lifecycle that auction.com utilizes to run their properties through auctions.

Run away from that area as fast as you can.

It'll be my first deal so I'm really excited to hit the ground running and get this snowball rolling.All tips and insight would be much appreciated!
