@Bryan Hancock  I have done a few PPM's over the years and boy they are a ton of work if your just doing little ones IE 1 mil and under and just try to get a CPA to give you a full audit it can be like pulling teeth to get that done.Just seems like a ton of work to me.. but then again I am an old dog.. so everything internet related and tech related seems hard...

It's time to pull the trigger, build a local network, and start analyzing deals.We are looking for cashflow after taxes and expect our first deal to be a relatively small single family property.  

But since you want to pull the money out ASAP, make sure when you're calling to ask if they have any sort of seasoning requirement so you don't waste your time applying for a loan that they can't even do. 

The wife and I wanted a new change of scenery and we know a part time investor (does most of his investing out of state, however) in the area that pulled us to this area.

Mostly I just want to be able to pull my own comps.  

While taking my first trip down to my county office to personally pull my own probate leads I never realized how hard it would be to do.

Just make a wise choice, know your numbers, and pull the trigger.

We use listsource.com primarily and pull potential cash buyer lists frequently.

Zillow simply pulls the data from municipalities and publishes it on their site.

Not much cash to pull out after closing cost and such.
