Regardless, CA needs to clean up its act or else tech (and film) will eventually get fed up.

I could tell you that Ardmore is super safe but youre looking at $1M+ for a quadplex.If you need help getting in touch with a lender and seeing what you can get qualified for, don't hesitate to reach out.I would recommend NE Philly and Bucks county as they are very close proximity to princetonI would:First get preapproved and then start to target the areas I would be comfortable living in.You might have better luck with Duplexes in the philly area as there are more of them out there.

Once we know that we'll need to know credit score, property type, purchase or refinance as starting points. 

But where to start?

My realtor said that initially he thought the ARV for my building would only increase by about $60K but that if I held over the long term eventually I would get the value.

Whether you're a seasoned expert or just starting, I believe we can all learn something new from each other.

I took a tax sale attorney to breakfast and he told me all that I felt I needed to get started.

I have a builder who's starting up here in Oklahoma looking to purchase 97 lots in NW OKC.

The MAO formula (70% of ARV Minus Repairs Minus Wholesale_Fee) only makes sense for fix-and-flip deals.For rental deals, you'll need to calculate the metrics that matter to a landlord, starting with Cash Flow and Cash-on-Cash-return.To do this you'll need to estimate Income and Operating Expenses to get Net Operating Income (NOI).

When I started I didn’t care that they cashflowed $100-$200.
