Having a solid local investing network is absolutely priceless - especially when you're first starting.Best wishes to you and your journey Karl!

The seller and I have built a solid relationship so we chat a lot about the house and the deal.

Title company also says they have to follow their own process (which I get) that include the title search and title insurance - but we already know that's 100% solid because we just did that less than 2 years ago when the SDIRA purchased the property.

Get a solid contract that protects the owner and you.

That's still really solid on a per-unit and CoC ROI basis.

I would recommend building a solid team, (Realtor, Property Manager, and Contractor) so you can become your own turnkey company.

I'd start with the BiggerPocket's Calculators to help you get an idea of what to look for in a property to know if it's a solid deal. 

I am seeking good solid advice on my current situation and the future.Currently I have a SFH in South Carolina and another SFH in California.

Let other people pay down your debt, build your equity and provide you with a solid return instead of dumping all of your capital into one venture.

We would be looking for a place that needs some love but has solid bones.
