We saw consistent double digit response rates across several different markets.

Hi Brendon Grover Excellent question!

@Brandon TurnerI agree with @Josh Cohen I got the digital copy and audio book couldn't listen to it.I'm more of a physical book so I bought that and almost finished reading it.

This is for the people that excel at Probates.  

... that would be an excellent way to go given what you have stated your goals to be.

Hello David - I'm considering that the original posts are a year old, not sure if you'll get any bites from previous posters, but I did see your post so I'll respond :) I don't run FB Ads as an investor, but Digital Marketing is what I do for a living so I can tell you that online marketing CAN work when done properly, and Facebook isn't the only way to get leads.

We do complex real estate deals using leverage, while managing and shifting risk to generate double digit annual returns.

Not knowing you're exact area or price point, I would recommend looking at multi units in San Pedro (the last affordable beach left in the west side), Long Beach (heavy rental market), Fullerton (great schools and universities), Monrovia (the next Pasadena), Korea Town (the new echo park), mid-Wilshire (excellent rental market), South Adams (the current hot spot for flips), Cypress (near Oxford Academy), Duarte (the next Monrovia, stay above foothill).

I do excellent work, nobody loves my property more than me, my investment model is a live-in flip so I've got plenty of time to make repairs and upgrades, and I have a very difficult time finding great contractors.I believe there are inspections involved before the lender will release the funds.The 20% down is to avoid PMI or Private Mortgage Insurance.
