I was researching real estate investing online to learn about it and I stumbled upon BP; I'm super excited about the stumble.

Hello, my name is Rodney and I just found this forum while researching real estate investment.

My wife and I are beginning to research/plan for direct marketing, so I'm sure your expertise would be highly welcomed.I noticed your name in previous posts about a Denver meetup.

Yesterday I was doing some research and found a 4-unit property in Lancaster CA that I ended up contacting the agent for some more specific info.She wrote back stating the property was in escrow but asked if I was to put an offer would I be financing the purchase or a cash buyer.

I have researched a lot of great info on Rent to Own properties already.

I can research and buy new properties on nights and weekends.I also give out my phone number and encourage my tenants to txt me.

I know that I would definitely have to research HOA's financial standing when looking for a unit to buy in order to avoid those special assessments.

I've been researching and the deal looks good but I'm really weary about the murder capital and getting stuck in a potential war zone.

I'm researching the options/futures that are easiest to understand, most cost efficient to acquire and manage like standard stock investing, and will write something up.

1st they gobbled up homes by the truckloads in certain markets (bigger homes, which don't cash flow that well but research shows vacancies are at 4-5 years) and now introduce loans to landlords to further flood the market.I ask myself, "why would they want to help their rental competition?"
