If I'm kicking in lawn care which I prefer they'll pay for it by collectively paying a $100 premium a mo in rent which will take care of the lawn bill over the course of 12 mos.  

I by no means had it rough but it was not easy. having my mom explain why she could not buy me a toy because she needed to buy food for us was not a great memory.

I prefer 15 year notes and I try to not go above 60 X monthly rent for a purchase price but I don't think that is feasible in many areas.

Financing kept me up at night: I prefer to worry about a little extra work cleaning a place up, opposed to still having work and while a note is due in addition to soliciting and showing a property to a picky demographic that has options. 7.

If you come across any deals that fit the "general" 70% minus repairs and they are in good neighborhoods or school districts (preferably both), send them my way.

I was thinking about it too- but after two daughters at UGA - I prefer not to.

I know many investors who live in California and they prefer to invest in the Midwest and other markets that are a bit more affordable.

I would prefer the hands on approach and sticking to investing in your area because renting a property can come with all kinds of problems such as bad tenants who end up trashing the place.

I'm currently going through some of the eBooks and webinars, and will start in on the Podcasts soon.For practical education, I've been trying to analyze potential deals that fit into my preferred category (small, multi-family units within an hour or so of home).

I personally wouldn't invest there myself and prefer other areas in vancouver and lower mainland.
