My wife and I live in Chicago and vacation in San Diego every year.  We get a condo rental in Oceanside typically, and stay for 2 weeks. I'm considering purchasing a condo or a small SFH in the Oceanside/Carlsbad area...

I’m in the Greater Seattle area—would paid ads work for this niche?

Would you be open to connecting sometime this week to see if we can create some synergy between our businesses?

This was for a $15m+ commercial transaction.  

I own several investment properties in Dallas, and have tons of great connections that will help you get started.

This platform on Bigger Pockets is a great source of information where you can ask questions and also learn from other investor questions.

When people bring up Subject To (very risky) and private money it's usually because they have seen a lot of scaling content.

I am on the board of the RPA (Rental Property Association of Wisconsin, a non-profit) and typically hear if things like this are an issue from our members or attorneys.

Thanks so much for your help!

However, some investors don't mind this strategy if they prefer not to put a lot of liquid in up front and plan to refi out within a few years of closing (which seems to be a great option with the talks of the FED reducing interest rates this year).It really comes down to investing in a growing market, in a good neighborhood & building a great team to support you.
