We are happy to help in any way we can.

I'm always willing to partner with other investors feel free to pm me and lets see if we are a good fit,

I also want to to start investing with my brother and father we are about to close on our first deal. we figured between the 3 of us we can save up for down payments faster and spread the risk as well.

Cash flow from rental and Note income would pay a house off in less than about 7 years.... but of course others will say we are nuts  refi to you die and paid for assets are dead equity.. but i look at those that made it through the last down turn who had little to no debt they were fine even though there rentals were vacant for significsant amount of time.. those with max debt literally lost their rentals..

My husband is Navy and we are stationed in Everett.

We'll cut to the chase, here's our dirt.The Facts: Ages 51/44, Married, w/10 yr. old childOne steady income 45KOne low income & fluctuating (self employed only 2 years but growing slowly)Living/ renting in NJ (Very expensive market, 2 family units sell over 500K)Fair amount of debt 37K (Car loan, 2 CC, Medical bills)Just getting by each monthCombined 401K's =  150KMy 401 (100K) can be transferred with no penalty to a self directed IRA (I had opened up last year in hopes of using some cash to invest in RE) We are determined to get into REI however we're probably going to need some creative ways to do it with our current situation.

We are still operating in a historically low interest rate environment and while none of us really like it, it's actually good for the economy.Best of luckStephanie

We have an extremely tight budget as we are doing this as a favor to a friend, not as a money maker.

Good Evening,My husband and I are new to the real estate investing world and we are looking for feedback on a deal we have beenlooking at. 

We have spoken with dozens of other agents and individuals in the field and most have commented that it is very rare to find houses with aluminum as most 1930 or after have copper with some exceptions between 1970-1980.We are going to get an electrician to look at and explain more about the aluminum wiring but I am wondering if there is anyone who has encountered something similar and what they did about it?
