Had a perfect potential tenant that said she wanted to rent my current home (now fixing another to move in their) , single, newly divorced lady, no kids, awesome income, background, ect. she applied and went through steps, I told other applicants that house was taken. she went on vacation for a week, another week went by with conversation and then the following Monday she informed me that her situation changed and wont be renting house out. discouraged now but am still hopeful that I will find a good first tenant.haven't posted on here for a while and figured that I would keep everyone informedChris

I just despise the heat in the south.I'm constantly looking for a perfect place to live and California is just the place to be.....

I wrote a blog post some time back titled, Medical Space, The Perfect Storm.

Yes there is some section 8 housing (which we don't shy away from) but there are plenty of other tenants available that are perfectly capable to pay the rent on their own and have decent jobs.  

@Rick Harmon , Perfect.

I made it perfectly clear that I wasn't selling anything and wasn't looking for anything in return.His response was pretty much, "Thanks but no thanks."

It's pretty reasonable that you take hits for acquiring a bunch of new debt before you've established your ability to repay it.Mine used to be flat out perfect and my score was low because I had so much going on.Not much is going to allow you unlimited ability to borrow in a short time period, but as has been said you can do the normal stuff like pay on time and keep your utilization under 30% and such.

Tomorrow am will be prepping the floor and I should be able to stain shortly after, weather says rain all day so it's perfect inside work time.

This is the perfect place to learn more about REI.

Purchasing for a buy and hold with hard money is perfectly fine -- that's if you're in the right market.
