In California you are exempt from Fair Housing Laws if you live in the home you rent out and meet/follow other criteria.

People keep telling me that around here that is really for "developers" and I guess I don't rate yet (though I'd like to someday :))The problem is the market is so hot up here, it seems like the only way I can find a deal that supports my goals is with fixing up more distressed properties that haven't sold right away, so I'm struggling with the best way to use my available capital.

The reason for this extra step (which a lot of people don’t think is necessary), is even the craziest and weirdest people can sound good on the phone.The in-person coffee meeting shows: 1.) if they are willing to invest in you, and; 2.) allows you to really get a good gut-check on them and make sure you feel good about proceeding. 

Although if I have the time for it I wouldn't mind giving it a go.My main focus is making my own investments and helping partners/friends invest in Nevada as well.If anyone has the time to meet with me and talk some more I would be happy to hear from you!

I know why I'm here now though:1 - I have a series of financial goals to accomplish for my family2 - I enjoy REI.3 - I have a series of financial needs to accomplish in order to do a number of things outside of my family4 - REI is fun5 - I like the challenge and I like the problem solving6 - REI is a lot of fun7 - I like meeting other REI, I like helping other REI.8 - I grew to realize that if you know what you're doing, REI has the lowest risk with the highest return of any other type of investing9 - I like meeting other REI10 - I like helping other REI.

Great to meet another local.

The city is hosting a meeting for landlords today August 24 2017 to explain the new changes and answer any questions you might have.  

Swing by the office next time you're in town and my team will take you on another tour of our great city and show you some HOT inventory!

I highly recommend attending local REI meetings, reading books, and listening to the pod casts on here. 

Good afternoon and nice to meet you!
