I am new to BP so far I really enjoy all of the information that is at your fingertips and the awesome advice.

If you look through some of the posts on BP, you'll read many stories, specifically of investors from California and NYC buying cheap properties, frequently in the Midwest and South who have lost money.

Purchase price: $245,000 Cash invested: $50,000 This was our primary residence that we are lived in for 6 years while we fixing up and renovating. 1963 farmhouse that was outdated and loads of half a$$ work and deferred maintenance.

Just buy something and work through it?
