Multiple times I was called over to fix doors that had been pulled off the hinges, Outlet covers that had been pulled off and broken, towel rods and toilet paper holders pulled off of walls, stuff put down the drains causing back ups.

Are you looking to do the loan underwritten by your income / off set by the rental income or a DSCR loan that uses only the actual or projected market rent schedule?

I'm both a realtor & investor from the greater Los Angeles area but based in San Diego, looking to take off with my first deal.

Paid off primary house.

I like investing in Single Family homes and I'm thrilled to kick off a discussion on the incredible world of single-family investments.

If you're going to deploy it and you pay off your mortgage, what interest rate would you get if you found a property and wanted to buy it?

If it's more than 12 months, you may be better off finding new tenants.

Short back story - Became debt free after paying off $30k - Currently have $25k saved - Have been doing research, listening to podcast, read the book on rental property investing by Brandon Turner, and became a ProMember of BiggerPockets (learning how to run numbers with the tools here). 

I was turned off by the approach, style, and even more importantly that the solution suggested was not correct for my situation and the rationale for it contained factual errors for my situation.

All the Nothern NJ counties have positives and negatives.It's all a trade off.
