I’ve owned 1 rental previously that I have now sold.

Ya know I was raised there In Cupertino and Palo Alto.. the land of 50 to 60 years ranch houses on little 5 to 7k sq ft lots selling for 2 to 4 million in todays. market.but back in 1979 is when homes got to 100k in Cupertino we all thought ( I was a 23 YO broker at that time) there is NO way they could go higher.. and when I bought my second home in my life in Palo Alto for 185k in 1984  a 3 and 1 900 sq ft home.. but nice landscaping lot was 50X 100  and then sold It in 91 for just under 500k..

So I always urge people to start with the end in mind and take a more passive approach.Directly investing in a turnkey rental or small MFH is a good way to start to learn and build up the war chest to go into my scaleable investments such as private placement syndications.

And if I sold it on the market, they would probably have to move out and find another Bay Area home (for much more rent), or I suspect an investor would raise their rent high too, if they have to pay as much for the house. 

I have at least $20K that I can put towards a deal and have access to private money, but want to raise my confidence before jumping into a distant market.

I’m in Pa, and no the property will not go to the Judicial sale since it was sold at the upset sale. 

Im not really a person to ask for anything, however I know at this point in order to really grow my real estate business like I envision I need to start using private money.

Are you looking for hard money or private money for flips? 

I personal had insulation redone in my house and low and behold when I sold it it was worth a percentage of that amount higher than I thought because of the way it adds value.If you have any further questions please tag me.
