So far, I'm leaning towards an underground pool since it can be used all year round, but if I find a property that has room for both, then I may try to incorporate both amenities since families and the older crowd are my preferred avatar.

I would like to purchase soon and the properties that I find will be vetted by the group of investors that have 20 years of experience.  

But if you to a more wise and slow approach, you can find other ways to generate additional income, build up a 25% DP on a duplex that cash flows after all expenses and you have an EF fund, well you will sleep better at night and the odds that your investment will survive the tough times in your life is far greater then someone who sleep well at night with tons of debt who if anything should go wrong, which it does in life that person may be bankrupt. 

These deals weren't easy-to-find "low-hanging fruit" but there are great deals are out there.If you need any help or additional advice, feel free to reach out I have helped a lot of my investor friends purchase properties in other counties in California.

Let them know you're interested in buying the property and explain that you’re considering wholesaling it, which means you might find another buyer who will take over the deal.

HollihanAn agent and a PMC should work together to find you great rental properties!

So your best bet is to find another lender if you find specific items that you do not agree with 

You can also find real estate investing groups through meetup.com, facebook, or a Google search.

We want to build something landlords would actually use and find valuable.

I have the time but not the money right now, if I can find a good deal for someone is it possible for them to pay me?
