Looking for 2% deals in Phoenix is going to be a waste of time unless you're sourcing the properties yourself via motivated sellers. 

My wife has been very supportive of this dream as I've begun to jump into it and our three kids are a good motivator to plan well for the future.While I currently live in California, this is my sixth state to live in, so I've gotten to see some vastly different areas of the country and intend to start my investing career somewhere cheaper than San Diego.

I have been listening to the podcast almost every day for the last few months and it's a great source of information and motivation so I wanted to share my most recent success in hopes I can meet people who can help me grow my business.My name is Peter Hanson and I am a self employed Real Estate Appraiser and Real Estate Broker in Huntington Beach, CA  I watched investors make a lot of money for many many years so I finally saved enough money to start flipping homes.

That's why I like to always leave "failed deals" with a good impression (no rough bridge-burning negotiations) and let them know that if they change their mind here's my card. 

I'm not sure why there are people out there rich or average who love getting these high interest loans, or dont mind putting out 40-100K out of their own pocket when there's people out there who will let you use their money over a period of time with a little pay back on the interest.

If you do, you may create some taxes, so keep it in mind.

Would you mind sharing with me also please?

However, when I'm sitting at around 90-95% occupancy via AirBNB and VRBO, I'm not particularly motivated to use my scant spare time to build the sort of robust website I'd need to easily process online bookings.  

I sell time and convenience, and motivated sellers are motivated for various reasons.

Will def keep you in mind!
