This is not ideal, but I think is a good way to get thing started when you are low in capital. 

Currently residing in Brea, CA.Just over two months ago I got married and moved to SoCal with my wife right after our honeymoon.

Ideally, I am looking for multi family properties that the seller will finance.

Ideal for hospitals, schools, hotels/motels, nursing homes and office environments where a highly washable and stain resistant finish is needed. ( http://www.iciduluxpaints.com/ourbrands/PaintCoating.jsp )That's a guess.

I didn't because I deal with MOTIVATED sellers, and MOTIVATED sellers don't care about earnest money.Again all of this being with unlisted property.

They weren't a horror story, but not ideal.

Ideally, you need to find an agent that you can send your offers to and they will keep track of them.

Add in all the jobs that are being created there and all the people moving there and it would seem an ideal place for growth as well.Back to the numbers.

By identifying your business constraints BEFORE you get started, you won't run into the common nightmare of spending the year learning about a “Super Deluxe Exit Strategyâ€, only to find out that you don't have the resources available to put it to work.Define your ideal outcome- Where do you want to end up in the next 6 months, 1 year, 2 years,....10 years.

Ideally the people who made money on giving this advice should be the ones paying to bail them out.
