I'm considering buying a multi-family property with approximately 100 doors.

All that would need to happen is that a door not latch behind you, and I would be on the hook for everything that followed.

Although bird dogging seems to be a way where I can definately get my foot in the door with the least risk and money if not any money at all.I'm moving to the Southeast Texas area in January and thought I wouldn't be able to do my first deal til around then (when I get my bills paid off) but this website has really accelerated my learning, I think I'd be ready here pretty soon.I look forward to speaking with all of you and folks from the denver area in the near future.Also...still new to the forum, I may have just missed it is there a place where I can find where a REI club is nearby?

Have you tried knocking on their door?

It opens the doors to many options not available to most others.Having said that, I still personal believe that using leverage is one of the greatest benefits to RE investing and you are missing out on some of it.

What I seen is realtor will come to me thinking they have SS for me to look at and all they have is Address and names of HO that they nevered contacted and want me to knock on doors and expect to get a commision on them.

Half that for a minor componet. 5k to cosmetics (carpet, floor, paint, fixtures & covers, minor landscaping) So a cosmetic fixer that needs a bathroom would be 5k to spruce up and 5k for the bathroom.

Also, takes more time, but I have gotten out of the car and knowcked on the doors of the neighbors on each side.

Its not like someone's going to show up at your front door with a bag and a stick.Refi's are going to cost you a few thousand in costs.

More doors, fewer sites.
