@David M Trapani i read the news. i cant believe bakersfield made in to the list. its a joke. i remembered when my sister bought a place a long time ago. then the big 2008 RE crashed.

The good news is after our monthly expenses we have a couple roommates that are going to completely eliminate any these expenses with their rent to us. 

What I need is action, which I’m working on, and a circle of like minded investors(this joining pro).

If you had a bad experience with a wholesaler strive to be a more professional real estate investor and take more action on your due diligence.

For a year I've tried to get the owner to take action on various repairs by texting and email rather than sending certified mail to put them on notice per TX lease laws.

I found out about the lease violations two weeks ago and my first course of action was to try to get my tenant to deal with them but thats taken some time and I only got worried now she wouldn't be able to deal with them.

You could be off in your calculations of valueYou could be off in your estimation of rehab costsThe listing agent, seller, or both could be off about either of the above.In the case of the first two, there's good news!

If you want the property you could point out that he is contractually bound and that if he doesn't honor the contract you'll be forced to take legal action.

Lets discuss and help folks take action and start building wealth through real estate!

It sounds like it can cut the time I plan to take action in half.
