Get frugal with your spending.

My wife and I have been looking at different markets for a while now and have recently decided that our time would be better spent getting to know one market rather than spending more time analyzing several markets to choose from.

What that means is that she is likely about to spend some time in jail, pre-trial (does not sound like she can afford bail,) and perhaps be sentenced to a term.

there was a young man from Davis or Vacaville who was getting going about 6 months ago in that area.. maybe he will surface.. he was trying a little of everything.. ( with I think limited success) but I think he decided he just was going to get licensed and try to earn commissions instead of spending so much money with no result.

Investor spends money on real estate, expecting a positive return

@Caplan Abbey where is maintenance, repairs, less vacancy, ground keeping, service repair (pest control, hvac), water/sewer, management fee, advertising, etc..

Youn Profeshonals etc.It’s nice to have less roofs but depends on the complex itself.Are the unit in walk -up building (up and down) or 2 story town house style.The second is often more in demand because they are larger.It is a low cap, but that’s Orland I guess...How much money do you need to spend per door to achieve higher cap?

You can't control your schedule and you could come up for TDY or a deployment with no notice.

i am married, my wife  [ 60 y/o ] is also disabled due to no kidneys and is on Home Hemo Dialysis, but she spends hours everyday looking through real estate , and though we have found several great oppurtunities, we have no been able to capitalise on them due to out low income and crummy credit ,  [although when i moved here i had 621 score until when I tried to refi through Loan Depot, they really messed me up and I am not sure what my score is now.]I think the first thing I need to do is repair my credit as best as I can, as well as see what kind of assets and value I have to help me get the investing process going. [ kinda long story packed with lessons there]  Due to a small windfall we have $5,000 earmarked for beginning real estate investing in hopes of getting our of our crushing poverty trench.I want to begin by doing non rehab wholesaling,  but am also wondering if Tax Lien investing might allow me more bang for my few bucks. 

Try to spend some of your pre-auction time to look at the units you will bid on.
