Chukwudi Motanya Talking with an investor once a week
17 September 2012 | 2 replies
-Visit local REI clubs;-Word of mouth, it's amazing how your network grows when you let people know what you do;- Might not be the group you are looking to work with, but the courthouse steps will have investors;- Perhaps sharing deals when you first start out will give you exposure to other bird doggers/wholesalers lists;- Advertise on CL, in your local papers etc. that you have houses you are moving on to investors, and to call/e-mail for information.Creative thinking is the name of the game, It'd be something fun to dabble in but I have other things to occupy my mind; hope that kick started a few thought processes.Andrew
Troy B. First Rental Property Closing In Days

However, you can prepare to have the work done before you close.For instance, if you're going to be doing the work/repairs yourself, take any measurements you need and buy any supplies you'll need beforehand so that you're ready to get to work as soon as you close.
Robert Pickles Feedback on MidAtlantic IRA
22 September 2018 | 15 replies
In each instance the transactions (from getting funds wired from my account to the borrowers and then getting the pay-offs wired from the borrowers back into my account) have been managed by MAIRA quickly and competently - and at transactional costs lower than many other self-directed IRA companies.

It's all subjective on a case by case basis.For instance one owner I know owns a multifamily complex of ranchers single story (over 100 units) on about 12 acres.Over the years retail commercial has built up all around it.The owner hasn't raised rents in 3 years.90% of the community is 55 and older even though it is not designated for that.The owner keeps it filled and does minor things to maintain it.Eventually it will probably be torn down and sold off for redevelopment.Knowing that it doesn't make sense to really over improve it and increase the rents.When buying a multifamily building you have to look at many factors and where it is located to determine what your plan will be.I like upping the rents slightly so that you get the increase but are still below market.As other shave said for someone to move and pay deposits and moving fees etc. they won't do it for a small amount.It's like a restaurant upping a burger 25 cents.You won't be happy about it but will deal with it.Up the burger at once by 1.00 and many might look for another place to eat.

The current administration either doesn't see it or likes what they see and will continue to grow all of these items.My simple question is, how high do the above percentages need to go before we realize it is not fixable without either declaring bankruptcy or printing so much money that we face unsustainable inflation?
Rob K. Big changes to Section 8?
25 September 2012 | 28 replies
I looked into Section 8 quite a bit though previously, and what I found is that - even though it is a federal/nationwide program - the actual administration of the program is done at the county level and subject to change and minor differences from county-to-county.For instance, in counties around mine (i.e.

For instance, I have a partnership where we formed a business and work multiple projects out of that business, meaning any dissolution could get complex since we could have multiple projects going on simultaneously.
