I did have an inspection before purchase, and to be honest the inspectors never turned on the furnace to check if it was working, and I moved forward anyway.

Hi everyone,I'm in the process of purchasing a 5-bed, 3-bath home in Hesperia, CA, and I plan to rent it out by the room.

I live in NJ but am looking to purchase an investment property in NY State.   

I currently have a client looking to purchase their first investment properties here this year as well as in other Midwest markets that are also showing some of these same factors coming to light.Another thing to consider is that OKC is home to nearly 20,000 military / government workers with Tinker Air Force Base and the Army and Air National Guard posts there. 

Hi BPers, We have just made a purchase which is our 11th property, yah!

Purchase price: $925,000 Cash invested: $75,000 Sale price: $1,190,000 Bought and styled and managed a luxury Airbnb in Scottsdale.

I have used HELOCs for probably most of the purchases of the properties I own. 

Leave the owners alone, when and if they are ready to sell, they will, and there will be plenty of lots to choose from on the MLS.I have no statistics to back this up, but in my casual observation after our fire is about 1/3 of the owners rebuilt their homes (some built similar, some duplicated exactly--big mistake, and some built better/nicer/larger homes). 

I definitely wouldn't sign a purchase agreement before seeing the property.

I have a proven track record of being able to identify a property, make the appropriate repairs, and have an ARV that exceeds the cost of purchase and repair.
