Granted the second option is more risky, but risk does come with reward.Use this to your advantage if you are in need of funding (I'm not sure if you do or not) and show potential investors that you can reduce risk in favor of being able to get all their investment back (using refi) and then have constant cashflow for a long time.Hope this helps,Andrew 

What’s the board’s thoughts on buying for rentals in this area, specifically near Eagle and Palm?

Indy is likely a much better market than anywhere near Annapolis for investing in the price range you are talking about. 

I have out of state multifamily properties that I use to self-manage (when I lived near them) years back but, now they are professionally managed and my team is in place there.The easiest way for you to expand your portfolio is to most likely invest through syndications.

My point is, that information is nowhere near enough to decide if the deal is good or not.

Hello,For the fix and flip guys/gals in or near Phoenix, Arizona , what are your specifications when purchasing a property?

I'm also a flipper myself, so I'm constantly on the lookout for good deals no matter the source.

However, in California, just get used to having your offers constantly rejected.....just keep pushing and make sure not to lower your standards.

So, I can't help you today, but if you'd like to connect I will be able to help you in the very near future. 

I My first property I am preferring to be near by Myrtle Beach SC and surrounding area.
