Bought this first property close to my house.

Yep, raise some money for them, find them a deal, lend them money to fund a deposit or conduct their diligence…you contributed to the deal and in return they will give you a CO-GP title. 

I would talk to the county about how they calculated the assessed value.

Here’s how in 6 easy steps:1.

Every day, the Chemical Plants (Dow, Shintech, etc.) and residential neighborhoods that surround the site of this location provide a high traffic count.A great opportunity exists for a tenant that is willing to market their business to travelers of Hwy. 1, the residents in the surrounding neighborhoods, and neighboring communities.How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

If a lender bases the loan off the property's rental income, I'm curious how do they determine that amount of rental income?

Go do the job yourself, go find a market and find a house.

You can also have a high-yield savings account elsewhere, but a local bank relationship will really help you as you begin to grow.

I am looking to connect with anyone with experience to find information and expand my network for mutual growth.

I really do not want to replace the whole roof this time.. the fix does not have to look pretty as long as it works.Any ideas on how to stop any leaks that keep coming back without me having to spend big bucks?
