Oh, and if anyone has any recommendations for hard money lenders that they've worked with in the past that would also be super helpful :) thanks a ton!

Ground is super hard.  

I'm super excited to join the BP community and I read somewhere that I should be specific as to why, so here goes it.My main three areas of interest right now and why I joined BP: 1- Active Learning. 

What you'll then see if the pseudo-arguments breakout about using the 50% rule in a super high rent area like San Francisco.  

Areas we are interested in looking include: Park City and Salt Lake greater area, perhaps Steamboat, CO or Fort Collins, CO (however CO has super high prices right now thanks to marijuana!)

I painted the cement floor with a grey waterproof sealing paint and looked super and passed the smell test.. 

Hey All, Maybe I'm getting a little ahead of myself but a 12 unit apartment building went on for sale ($1,375,000) right down the street from me and I'm super interested.2015 yearly expenses of about $14,500insurance at $8000Sewer $2000Water and trash: $3200ADT and Rottler $900Currently all units are leased at an average $975 a month (I think I can get this to $1000 based on its location next to my medical school and 2 large undergrad campuses)I'm extremely good at finding tenants as I have connections all over STL and have lived here for 22 years of my life, but I"ve just bought 2 rentals in the last 4 months and am under contract for a 3rd right now.

Now that I'm moved out, I'm super happy to have handed all that part over to a property manager :)

I have super powers, one is the ability to read between the lines and spot predatory thinking, predatory deal makers, when folks mention up front money and the central point of the conversation is keeping the money when/if the buyer walks or fails, without any other comments as to how to qualify a buyer besides their bank account, most likely there is a predatory thinker out there.

It's super important to rely on local attorneys that know that state's laws and procedures.
