However with that being said, folks in this situation where they are paying much less than market will still likely be in the unit on the deadline with the excuse that they can't find anywhere (well...anywhere they WANT to move to and for an amount they WANT to pay).

I'm looking to connect with some Boise folks and if I can help out electrically maybe you can show me some of your skills!

You should look at working with some folks on doing apartment deals, could even do 4 unit deals.

Since you are a contractor you should look at Joint Venturing with folks.

Hi folks, new to investing and living in Houston area (out skirts). 

I am very excited about this journey and glad to have folks that are relatively close to my location.

I am researching the market and will start diving deep into cleaning arrangements, repair folks, what types of properties bring the biggest return (size, more private vs more crowded cabins, closer to or further from town, hot tubs, views, etc...)

I was curious on what folks thought about going low money down to save cash for the next property .. but it all depends on the numbers.  

I have seen some folks post on BP that credit unions didn’t call in HELOCs in the last crisis, but I did not have one in the last bust, so can’t comment from personal experience. 

No.And I'm not saying that to imply anything about the incomes of the folks with criminal backgrounds, a lot of the folks with income sufficient to qualify end up self employed in some capacity, higher income than area median income (and in my case it's Bay Area median incomes we're talking about).
