How perfect did your CMA have to be if you think you could have made that much?

Wayne, You can have a fictitious name, perfectly legal, the name must be filed as a fictitious name with the Sec of State. #6 by itself is okay. #7 is a big issue and can be fraud, at this point attempted fraud as it hasn't closed as I understand.

My realtor is an investor herself, which worked out perfectly.

they sell 4X8 sheets of different panels in home depots and lowes's...usually they're located in millwork where the moldings are...they make them to look like woodgrain, bathroom tiles, etc..i've used the wood grain on the ends of cabinets before to do what you're trying to accomplish...it wasn't a perfect match, but it looked good enough that i was probably the only one to notice the difference

It's not perfect, but it's better than a SWAG (Scientific Wild A$$ Guess).

It may take quite some time to gather the capital, find the perfect house and execute!

We opted for PF Changs on Sunday for lunch.One last lunch gathering would have been a perfect way to top off the awesome weekend!

I do just fine reading books/study material to get me started but being hands on is where I absorb and perfect

Perfect property manager?

If all the systems and mechanicals are old the repairs will eat up any expected returns for years if things go perfect with your tenants.The key question is if the previous owner did a lot of deferred maintenance and kept hoarding cash instead.The HOA doesn't mean anything.They can go defunct or increase the dues or add special assessments.I like to keep control of my investments so do not like deals like this where you are betting on an external party to maintain your property.
