I subscribe to different services and marketing tools that really drive up my cost/mo for being a realtor..If you were just using it to look at properties and to save the "3%" (it's not really the full 3... as per Russell's post) it probably won't be worth it at the moment, but if you decided to pursue investing, it is an amazing tool.

If I can be of service in helping you find properties or in selling properties, feel free to reach out.Boris

Long-term I'd hope to grow a buy-and-hold portfolio, but I'm very focused on this first purchase for right now.Since I work downtown, don't own a car (and don't want to), and spend most of my time in Central LA, I'm looking really closely at areas around downtown: lower-cost areas with decently affordable 2-4 unit buildings (in the $400,000 to $800,000 range) like Pico-Union, areas around USC, and even up around Hollywood/Koreatown when the rare good deal shows up there.I've been looking around on Redfin a bunch, but have seen little to nothing that satisfies Josh and Brandon's "Two Percent Rule" (or even 1% rule).

A disabled veteran in Texas may receive a property tax exemption of up to $12,000 on his/her primary residence, depending on the severity of the disability incurred as a result of service.

I definitely can't afford to buy already built regular properties for sale as that will be out of my reach.

If you are a wholesaler like me you can't afford to invest in the other segments of investing now...stay motivated.

So its also important to look for something that you can afford to carry the mortgage on if you had to for a few months.  

I used the services of Renters Warehouse to find tenants and now they are telling me I need to conduct a Move in inspection.

Specially from investors who can no longer afford Brooklyn. 

But when you call tell him you need his services to draw up a contract that's tailored to your needs.
