There's so much information available about real estate that's attainable for FREE!!

For anybody who does not know the Oakland market, an empty building is a HUGE plus and 1% might be attainable after renovations.What is different about this purchase for me, is that I have stepped out of my comfort zone and partnered up with a fellow BP'er on this deal. 

Shane Woods, gotcha thanks for the clarification.

I'll keep that clarification of the 50% rule in mind.

I was unable to see any clarification from the above site.

Call the planning or assessor department and get clarification. 

Aspects will be influenced greatly by how quickly money was attained and the age of the person.

And seemingly would have an issue with the site even if my husband wasn't an agent (trying to get clarification on this one)Wondering if anyone else has had to deal with this and if so, I'd love some suggestions!

He is a rather new “buy and hold” real estate investor who has acquired fifteen units over the last five years and loves what he does.My wife and I have become so excited about real estate and the thought that real wealth is attainable.

If you would like any clarifications or want to drill down on any part of this, feel free to contact me or just post another question.
