We’ve acquired 7 properties since the summer.

My family also has a few properties they've acquired over the years throughout California, but I wouldn't classify any of them as "investors". 

( I am under contract and look for every negative possibility to prevent acquiring a bad deal).

Purchase price: $35,600 Cash invested: $57,443 I purchased this property as a starter home to learn about real estate and gain experience to eventually acquire larger investment properties, like apartment buildings or strip malls.

mostly waited for the market to come back, I also lived in it and got in good enough with HOA to acquire one of the 3 rental permissions in the building then furnished and rented it.

We have 1 in West Gardiner and also acquired a property back in S Gardiner of 39 acres that we will be developing.

The seller we purchased from paid for mold remediation in the attic.
