We would like to stay in the N.E. market, but it has been a battle acquiring a second one.

Dear Sir; Although, I do not do this personally anymore; many flippers acquire theproperty from a "wholesaler" and then ask their realtor to see the propertyand write the offer.

I am focused on acquiring more rentals, but at the same time don't want to fall in love with any property just because I want more rental property.

I get financial aid for school so i'm good.The reason i'm broke is because I helped my mother acquire a SFR so she could own her own home and stop wasting money renting I gave her about $12000 total.

In my case, I acquired these assets in my name, got the financing with my signature, and executed a quitclaim deed conveying title after the fact from me to my LLC. 

Living next door to your tenants is an acquired taste.

I originally acquired my properties in the early days just before the housing market bubble when no doc loans and easy financing existed. 

Do you have the finances or can you acquire the finances to take the deal down yourself? 

For example, I am looking at a REO in a hot market MA that can be acquired for $500K cash, that with repairs of $40K could be sold quickly for $625K and possibly closer to $650K. 

Within the past 12 months, I have acquired enough equity to be in position to purchase my first rental property.
