I put 25% down, and at that time we were thinking to keep this as a vacation home where we plan to retire eventually.

Are you looking at turn-key investment or do you plan to purchase and rehab?

Are you planning to invest locally in California, or are you open to investing out-of-state?

Maybe that is one of your interview questions.If you are very top producer there can be some advantages, like employing your kids, SEPs or retirement plans and maybe if you have a big team some shield of liability if you set it up right and practice what your attorney teaches you to do to keep everything separate.

Hi All, I'm freshly starting my MTR and have quite some questions that need your help: For tenant screening, I plan to do the routine background (eviction, criminal) screening and credit check.

My plan in my beginning stages right now is to invest in the general Florida area, locations like Orlando, Tampa, Venice, Sarasota, Punta Gorda and Ft Myers. 

I plan to self-manage it, should be able to easily demonstrate 100 hours and no one works more than me on it, and keep the stays under 7 days.

I'm looking to build a 2500 sq ft two level ecofriendly single-family home which incorporates natural surrounding into the design, I'm trying to figure out what my cost should be for architectural plans: elevation, floor plan, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, etc.  

I am currently a resident of Ohio, but my business partner and I spend quite a bit of time in the Carolinas. 

One thing I missed is RETA does get you some pretty good payment plans if you live in North America.Those payment plans are not available to Europeans from what I can remember.
