I know this question has been asked before, but I'm hoping to get specifics on how I can compare numbers between 1.) purchasing a primary residence VS 2.) saving for my next buy & hold investment.Background:  I live near the beach in Los Angeles.

Specifically with FTP files in the Broward County area ( South Florida ) regarding Official Records of Real Estate transactions.  

Or is that maybe a Florida or your county specific kind of thing?

I trust most active landlords have heard of the April 4, 2016 "Office of General Counsel Guidance on Application of Fair Housing Act Standards to the Use of Criminal Records by Providers of Housing and Real Estate-Related Transactions" For those of you who have read the guidance, what "policies and practices" have you put in place for specific prior criminal behavior?

I am a tad late to this conversation but as an experienced investor, I wanted to touch on several comments in this thread, I will do my best to remember them all.Build your team first (of course this comes after educating yourself on the specific strategy you intend to do with books, BP, mentor, RE group meet ups, etc).

Is it because you've heard it's a good thing to do or because you have a specific reason?

To be more specific, this is NOT a new construction, super nice, $2000/month property like we have popping up on EVERY corner in DFW.  

If you'd like, I can have them contact you to get specifics.

I know some of these questions are specific to my circumstances, but if anyone has any guidance or experience with similar issues I'd appreciate hearing from you.Thanks,Anthony

However, in the meantime I am building a specific criteria for a mailers list.
