Ian Tvardovskaya....I live in a city with roughly 100k population.

There are no hard money lenders I am aware of in CA that will lend you 100% of your purchase price.

I was a week away from closing on a great place in Decatur city limits near downtown, but I couldn't get the HOA lady to communicate with us before we purchased, which was a bad sign and I walked.

We obviously love Memphis given our name, but we also love Dallas, Houston, Little Rock, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, St Louis, Kansas City and Knoxville.

I’m looking to invest in my local real estate market which is Imperial Valley in California.

I am not familiar with California regulations and tax rules.

If you have a vacant property and pay me a property in disrepair and it's not feeding you income, you’re getting eaten up with property taxes with insurance, water bills, grass cutting, snow plowing, repairs and city violations.

Divorce, death incarceration, city violations and evictions are all some telltale signs that a property is probably going to be a good house to buy and the seller might not even know it yet.

Most plans seems to cover basics, but should I be cautious about hiring daily workers (i.e. front of Home Depot,..)my project is in San Bernardino County (California) area.
