@Mitch P.Yes, you can cash out for the full amount of LTV that the lender requires - some require 75% and some allow 80% - also, a lender that allowed 80% may require 75% on another deal if your personal situation changes - debt to income, etc.The deals are out there - I am constantly on HAR looking at my target neighborhoods - I also have automatic notifications set up when a new property comes on the market that meets my criteria.

I am pretty set on moving out to Europe (specifically London), when I graduate.

I will get 5-10 people before I call them back then I set up showings then I set them up every 15 minutes in the evening usually around 6:00 (because they should be at work during the day hopefully).

Make sure to set up keyword alerts so you can get notified about  topics that interest you when they are mentioned in the forums.Look into attending local REIA meetings.

Hey y'all, I'm a first time poster, a complete newbie, and in need of some advice.I have my eyes set on a 4plex in Florida, and boy is it in rough shape. 

Even if you're an experienced real estate investor, it never hurts to have a second set of eyes looking at the deal.

Post up when there is a set time and date.

I ran this by the "general" forum, but wanted to put this over here to maybe get a different set of eyes on it...I'm considering a possible industrial property that's for sale.

Listen what I would do is drive around the neighborhood you can afford around 6pm if the bus stops have lots of people making there way from work there is one money to be made and two a community of decent ppl there I'm not sure if u have children if not living in a bad neighborhood isn't always as bad as it seems besides the money you collect in a year or two may propel you toward your real aspirations faster than not making the move and no matter where you buy your choosing the tenant so set a base line of what you will and won't accept and stick to it people live in Baltimore, New York, New Jersey all places that once where **** holes that have taken some major steps toward change but more importantly they made a big bag of money from those horrible hoods
