Love to stay in touch with you as things progress for both of us.Mark Mark, you might want to keep an eye on Webster, MA area as well.

I go between San Diego, CA and AZ and the overall cost of land in our southern CA eyes affordable housing are abundant.

I have purchased all my properties off the MLS but have not seen anything that has caught my eye for a long time.  

Just take a closer look at your expected expenses so you go in eye-wide-open.

As a current California Real Estate agent I work with clients to buy and sell properties while at the same time keep an eye out for great deals to invest in.

Please feel free to message me also if your looking in the seattle and North of Seattle ares if you would like me to keep a eye out for good investment properties for you.

Someone please open my eyes and steer me in the right direction.

Hi @James Allen,I would say the biggest thing in my eyes would be to respect their time and reputation.

Even though I have not been active in real estate for many years, I have done what I can to keep up with the field and keep the skills I have developed honed by knowing what the local markets are like and I always keep an eye out for investment property.

If this is your plan, then your mortgage at purchase should be an open mortgage (higher rate, but no prepayment penalty) or, at the very least, a fixed-term, variable rate mortgage (penalty of 3-months interest) and not a fixed-rate, fixed term mortgage (penalty: interest rate differential).If you would like a second set of eyes to review your strategy, feel free to PM me.
