Hi BP Fam,I am looking to buy a few properties by the end of this year or early next year and would like to get one under contract within a few months.

Partner Driven was interested in the Owens Creek Rd deal in Catheys Valley, CA, due to its high profit potential and quick turnaround.

If you can't keep control of your personal finances, you are highly unlikely to succeed in real estate investing.

@Lucas Hunt50/50 is not uncommon - but also partners breaking up is also highly likely so what I would recommend is in the company operating agreement or in some type of agreement make sure you went through all the what ifs that could happen and how they would be resolvedIt’s a lot better to resolve them now versus when their is a dispute

@Anthony Roberts your info, "having some difficulties finding good tenants", is actually pretty vauge.Are you having problems getting showings, applications, high enough credit scores, performing tenants or what?

When they don't know you, I've found they sometimes submit absurdly high initial bids.Last week, I needed a last minute guy to do some work that had lingered (my fault mostly) on a project. 

Do your market research to set your base price (filtering by private room, in your instance), stage it cleanly and simply, have some great photos taken, start your prices low, then go high, be responsive to their requests, etc.The biggest difference will be in your description.

I’ve been looking at Alabama and Georgia but have found that these market have already appreciated and with the high interest rates, the numbers don’t work.

House hacking is an AMAZING way to get started and I highly suggest it if your situation can accommodate. 

A high yield savings is a good start.
