I am not ready to pull the trigger yet I need to build up my emergency fund first.

The company was www.revestor.com and below is an article written in 2013 about the company and Shark Tank appearance.http://www.inman.com/2013/05/24/revestor-emerges-f...I bookmarked the site to check it out tomorrow to see how well it works.

Los Angeles metro may see single digit appreciation in the future, while more under valued emerging metro markets may see double digit appreciation in the future.Originally posted by @Christopher Winkler:Originally posted by @Will Barnard:Secondly, the fact that prices are lower there just means you need to buy more deals to place the entire $1M. here in CA, I could place it all in just one, or over 2-3 easily and turn that $1M over at least 2-3 times each year.

Instead, we must finally make the necessary reforms to our balance sheets… we must write down loans… we must do the hard work necessary to return to health.This central bank of central banks says that the low interest rates and quantitative easing since 2008 has not been used well…That if this craziness isn’t stopped now, any further action will simply compound the risks they’ve already created.Quantitative easing should be for emergencies only.

:I would LIKE to purchase a duplex here in Los Angeles through an FHA loan and owner-occupy one unit for minimum two years while renting the other to cover my mortgage costs, while continuing to work the same hours and increase my income to simultaneously SAVE what I WOULD pay for rent (had I not bought this property) to increase my emergency fund and build another down payment.

I'm always researching emerging markets and have compiled a Top 15 Real Estate Investment Cities list that might be helpful.  

We give you a dedicated line for your tenants to callWe diagnose if the issue is an emergency or notWe troubleshoot the issue with our own team to try and get a fix done over the phoneWe will get a contractor out to the home asap if we can't fix the emergency on the phoneIf it is a standard request, we'll email you and see if you want us to send someone out to fix itIf you think a service like ours would save you time and hassle please reach out.

Post emergency phone numbers, provide fire extinguishers, check the batteries in the smoke alarms frequently (they are the first to go) and get a good insurance guy/policy.

I assume they do it below.I am betting that any Investor who is wise is going to factor in a % that goes into an emergency repair account, just in case they missed a defect on the furnace and it goes on the blink next week, or three months down the line.

You have to live with them too.If I were the OP, I'd let them know I owned it, let the rules be known and give them the numbers to call for various emergencies.
