Hi All, I just wanted to get some ideas on where I should be looking for a loan or hard money to purchase my first rental property.

Its so hard to feel like you're paying people for being crappy tenants, but it would have been worth it in the long run just for my own sanity.Good luck on the endeavor!

I help busy people build cash flow portfolio so they do not have to work so hard.

If you take too long the deal will never be yours, but if you hurry into it then... you know how that story goes :)Hard to find a balance.

What I am very unsure of is how to make this happen.I don't even know how to proceed, do we go the hard money route? 

Hard to find houses over there anymore. 

In fact, I would say most people who are actually doing real estate are having a hard time.

I see multi unit sitting on the market that are hard to sell because they're occupied, and the mortgage price is too high for any cash flow.Given these obstacles, is it better to buy in Vallejo now, where there is no rent control currently (although that can always change)?

I have a deal that is about to implode and looking for any Hard Money Investor that can close super quickly and meet terms.

It just seems like this may add up to be 15-20% of revenues.This has me thinking how hard can it be to self manage?
