My interests are in long-term investing (residential buy and hold/rent), and I would love to meet other people in the Little Rock or Central Arkansas area with similar and different REI investing strategies.I think my brain has absorbed all the books/articles/websites it can at the moment, so right now I'm trying to make some local REI contacts in the hopes that it will spur me on to further action.

I have seen newby investors go from REIA to REIA dragging the same non-deal around trying to squeeze water from a rock.

If there is something inherently wrong, such as a utility easement that renders a lot unbuildable, or a subdivision that doesn't show a parcel split on an online map but is recorded, there are often reasons why properties wind up being given up just for taxes, and you should not take them for granted.If you buy a condominium, you will be responsible for association fees immediately.And finally, don't be dumb and forget to file your deed.

I have a friend that wants to start wholesaling together, we are going to split everything down the middle from marketing to profits.

There are many people who think it is dumb to spend $800/m on a 1 bedroom apartment when they can split $1000/m 4 ways on a two bedroom.

see @Ned Carey he rocks in Baltimore!

The comps I find are usually literally within rock throwing distance from the subject property.It may be different out there in Florida, but a couple miles in AZ can mean the difference between a $50,000 home and a $5,000,000 home.

I am currently purchasing a multifamily building in California. I have found a small investment group looking to provide 95% of the equity and I would provide the 5%. I just wanted to know if anyone had experience ...

I'm in Wilco as well, Round Rock.

The deal structure could be anything from a 50/50 to a 75/25 split.
