@Timothy VanWingerden that's awesome news.

Originally posted by @Francis Rusnak:Reason I ask is he's asking for what the current premium is on the properties before giving quotes; that question seems irrelevant. 

@Timothy WoodlandAsset management is meant to cultivate market value so ownership can increase its returns, whether it has to do with real estate or any other asset.

Hi Timothy,We did not have financing issues after acquiring a property via quitclaim deed, however we were getting property significantly discounted to take the additional risk (we did not have previous existing relationship with owner).Some other challenges/potential landmines you should be looking for are:1) 6 month delay between acquiring a property and being able to cash out refi using appraised value versus purchase price (applies if you are getting a conforming loan)2) Not counting on minor renovations to add significant equity3) The appraiser will most likely only consider a sales valuation approach and not consider the income valuation method, so make sure you are projecting your value based on what you can sell it for after your reno.4) Don't wait for a renter.

@Timothy Lewman Hello Tim!

What's the consensus on purchasing properties in Saint Francis, Cudahy, and South Milwaukee.

Hey Timothy,Thanks for the data on pricing, as well as the insight on what markets to go for.

Hi @Timothy Ketelhut and welcome to BiggerPockets!

Hi @Timothy Ketelhut -I don't know that State you live in, so I can't speak specifically to your situation; however, I'll mention this:1) there's a very good chance you are not required to sign an agreement to only work with one agent. 

Hey @Timothy Casallas, Atlanta is a great market to be in right now.
