@Dexter Wallace you are on the right thought process that if you go the route of purchasing from a turnkey provider that it will save you from doing much of the leg work.But what comes along with that is you most likely will have to pay more for the property then if you were to rehab it yourself.

Older dude just wants the stuff gone and someone to help with the leg work.. which there is money to be made in the negotiation of debt...

Whatever the case, I still highly recommend that you do some 'leg work' in verifying their employer, salary, position, and length of employment.

Just signed up yesterday...First post, first question:I'm a newbie, looking at a 1 BR condo I can get fairly cheap, and the rent payment would cover the mortgage payment right away, making it cash-flow positive...But I'm terrified of the nightmare scenario where someone falls down the stairs, breaks their leg, etc, or whatever the scenario, and I get sued and get wiped out financially.

They will hump your leg to pay them every single day and it was more pain than it should have been.

@Jason GinesYea i agree, also roofstock is great for the hand holding and they do have great inspection reports and they do a lot of the leg work for you.

@Megan S.We've had buried oil tanks with previous buyers we were working with in Westchester and Orange Counties.

Looking around it seems there's not many opportunities for multis under 300K other than Newark, East Orange, surrounding area, and rare in those areas.

I'll have 2200 and spend 16 hours a week on mine.Once again, you're comparing apples and oranges.

Anyone know how/if I can target my local market (South Orange County, Ca.)?
