@Mark Douglas, meeting up some time sounds great.

I'm not very excited about the market here in California, and with my busy schedule, I'd be looking at investing in turnkeys (right now looking at Atlanta, Austin, Chicago but much more research is needed).

Julie I get it I have owned 3 sizeable HML companies in my day.. and done well over 2,500 transaction as the owner principal of the company.. and I have done them every which way.from no money.. to needing money.. to equity share etc etc.. end of the day its the character and capacity of the flipper that is paramount.tough thing right now for most is finding deals that meet the LTC ratios that make 100% funding even remotely safe. however you are new to BP I see and generally speaking this is a beginners site..

With low financials for a first deal; your pitch, passion, and niche will be more important than trying to meet straight numbers.

If we don't know you're looking for a house right now, we may forget to call you when we have something that meets your needs.  

I'd highly recommend attending the next KnoxREIA meet next month.

Where a tenant is evicted for owner occupancy after December 18, 1998, that unit is designated as the owner's unit for purposes of subsequent owner-occupancy evictions, unless the owner's disability or other similar hardship prevents occupancy of that unit.Tenants who are 60 years old or who meet the disability guidelines for federal Supplemental Security Income and who have lived in the unit at least 10 years, or tenants who are catastrophically ill and who have lived in the unit for at least 5 years, have a protected status and cannot be evicted for either the owner or the owner's relative to move into a building of 2 units or more.

MEETING DETAILSI'm looking to get some people together in Berkeley or Oakland on Sunday, September 11th @ 7pm to discuss real estate investing .
