Personally, my investment funds will be targeted elsewhere for the foreseeable future. 

I am the kind of person who loves finding deals and am quite good at it but don't have the capital.

I've heard good things about Oklahoma, but it is very far from CA and I personally wouldn't bet on very speculative developments across the country.

In this case, after speaking with local real estate agents, a local appraiser, and a half dozen lenders, I think (hope) I'll get away with my err in judgement this time and procede as "by the book" as possible going forward.Regarding the insurance, everyone has stories about insurance companies trying to weasel out of their coverages.

Only the person running the club chooses potential investments.

I'm especially intrigued with the Office Hours, and that he apparently personally coaches you through RE strategies/challenges. 

I've reached out to multiple insurance companies that are saying they won't insure a building that old.

Personally, my husband and I have only purchased new construction (both for investments and personal homes).

I just seen an ad for this company.

Multiple, billion dollar companies are investing heavy in our area, such as Intel, Google, and Amazon.
