I'm not confident that San Diego is the market for me, given limited capital and the cost of ownership versus attainable rent in this area.

I know that is very attainable through smart and consistent investing.

Thanks for the clarification Chris!

If $96k is market value, then this one will NOT help you attain: BIGGERpockets!

This fact and past history is also taken in to the consideration by lender.What are your thoughts with this clarification?

For clarification, the equity in my current home would be the down payment on the next home.

I need a little clarification, are you looking to use both realtors in FL?

I think you will find a wealth of information available to you here  at BP - and you can certainly use it attain success - but Bigger Pockets , in and of itself - is not going to take you where you need to be anymore than a drivers licence can get you across town.

What kind of numbers do you use for deal analysis that are not easily attainable, public data? 

Looking forward to using my extensive knowledge of the DC Maryland area to attain my goal of owning a multifamily property .
