My opinion reviews your financial situation first because jumping into real estate or real estate investment you will need at least six months of reserves financially self-sufficient to support yourself.

I want to develop associations with those who can see the value in my association and help me get started with investing.

(As long as the real estate value, loan conditions, and cash flow all are feasible.)

Get an attorney to review to confirm it is not binding (which it should not be).

We find land to place the home on, in popular rental areas to help maximise the rental or resale value. contact me today to discuss more!

I've thought about buying on the high end of what I could afford (in highly desirable areas) in the hopes the property values will climb.Should I forgo financing entirely and buy something "cheap" that I can pay in cash or take a minimal mortgage on?

Reviews when it comes to claim time are pretty bad:https://www.yelp.com/biz/bamboo-insurance-midvale

The market value is currently sitting near $600,000.

Its certainly hard to cash flow significantly in the current environment (high rates, high values etc) - I tend to think though that just "doing" a first deal even if it doesn't make too much is valuable versus getting stuck in analysis paralysis - the learning from the experience of actual doing it generally is 10X + even a ton of courses, info, spreadsheets etc

How did you add value to the deal?
