Anyone investing in 29 Palms, California? I was looking to pick up some rentals and wanted to know the good and bad about it?


 I was interested in investing on some units in 29 palms as well. Not sure what the rents are running for. Properties are cheaper than IE area.

Quote from @Logan Singleton:

Hi Jose,

Your personal risk tolerance does pay a factor in this question. Are you comfortable taking out two mortgages or parting ways with that much cash at one time?


 To be honest, I would rather start with one and then move on to the 2nd one if everything worked out. I am new to this so I am hoping to get some pointers from the experts.

@Jose Ruvalcaba To properly analyze this we would need more information surrounding the other expenses associated with these properties.

I am the sole provider for my home so I 

If it were me and I had $415,000 I would find 2 deals that cash flowed and put loans on them both and down payments of about $200,000 with $15,000 for closing costs and begin building equity on both where down the road you’d have two buildings that had appreciated to a bigger value and presumably rents had increased instead of just one.


 I am the sole provider for my family so i dont know if I would qualify for two loans. I would have to spend 15k in in expenses to get the property running. Rental income can be up to $1700 per unit. I would only pay water and waste. Each unit has its own meter.


 I would say it comes down to the cash flow, Cash on Cash Return, and location of the properties (appreciation). I am an agent/investor. If you want a second opinion, let me know. 


 Hello Brandon, I would really appreciate your opinion. I am new to the investment world and can take all the need I can get. Let me know what I can provide to you for better assistance. Thanks alot.

Want to invest in a multifamily home. Have enough to pay cash for triplex but interested in investing on a 4 unit complex. What do you recommend? Triplex $415k. Apartment $750k. Which one would you buy? Rent is close to the same $1800 a month for each unit
