The first money at risk has to be yours.If you find a lender who will lend 100% of the purchase price to a newbie, that should raise some red flags. 

I have always done yellow letter, red pen, ivory invitation envelope, and personalized stamps.  

If you steer clear of the nay-sayers and red-light thinkers, you'll see that while its not a cake-walk, its absolutely do-able and lucrative.

For example, Broad Ripple area shows as solid red, but it's nowhere near a war zone.

I can't speak of Dodgers tickets prices because I have friends with season tickets, but I suspect that they are not the steal that Reds tickets are.

I would like to gauge the interest of the BiggerPockets community on a new Single Family Rental (SFR) Investment fund idea.As we all know the Single Family Rental market is on the rise and can be very lucrative for both small and big investor alike.We've all seen the macroeconomic trends shifting towards a bigger and more stable renter society, and we all know that Wall Street now has anappetite for the SFRproduct with more than 4 public REITS focusing in the space.We createdwww.Property-Pool.com given the changes in the Securities laws, with the idea to give investors the opportunity to participate in the SFR space like an Institutional player but without the need of spending the time/cash to do so.We, ourselves, have been operating in the space for more than 6 years and now we are offering accredited investors the chance to join our funds with lower minimum investment than other private funds.Any feedback from investors who are always looking and comparing different options would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Daniel Sultan

Hope he like the Lambo in red.

My longer term goal is to buy and hold as well but am currently flipping and am always looking for investors.Are you fimiliar with the Jet Lending event tonight at the Red Neck Country Club?? 

* Is there a "red flag" with rental properties and how to figure it out before its to late* how do you know how much all the monthly expenses will be - how to get the taxes/insurance expense - how much you can charge for rent and not be overpricing/underpricing?

-is anything hidden in the numbers that I quoted that raises red-flags that I may have missed something glaring?
