Nice to have you here.

It's always nice to get some new perspective especially coming from SF area, where property values are high.

You guys should definitely be sure to link up -- there's a nice little network of military investors on site these days.Good luck!

I was burned by a perfectly nice landlord who was underwater and lost the home without telling me.

I get 100%All that is well an good, but its not accumulative, it reset on my anniversary.So I will be in 64/30 for a long time.But they will let me structure my deals anyways I want.Waive commission, only give buyer agent etc. and I'm not sure if I m restricted to 2xs a yr.This one also has a profit sharing that sound like a ponzie scheme (spelling) The broker is super nice and been in all of the brokerage I mentioned.

Have a nice evening.

So, a bit about me, I bought my first home, a fixer-upper, in '97, followed shortly after by 2 duplexes and interspersed over the next 10 years with a few HUD flips and another personal residence that was a HUD foreclosure as well that I sold for a nice profit.

I run through there at times, Blues, Bikes & BBQ in Fayetteville....tell the Walton bunch hello...LOL, You're in a nice area, good luck!

The difference is they have other properties they can put up for collateral, reserves they can show, etc.If I give you as a seller a nice performing property and you have no experience the odds of success are very low and I can kiss that 15% note goodbye.

Hi GuysAn interesting scenario:I am currently renting a nice house from a family member (i.e. using it as my home) for only £200/month (it would normally fetch £600-£700 per month on the open market).What I wonder is, should I:1. continue to rent it for quite cheap money and focus on building a property portfolio of rental property. i.e. invest the money saved from purchasing a property for myself to live in, in rental properties (i.e. rent out to tenants) and continue renting my own residence also at £200/month.2.
