My plan is to wait 30 weeks and put in $50  of saving.

I plan on trolling through the Education links.

Well, i am all about long term investing and planning for retirement.

I plan to rent this......trying my first BRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refi).

Once a business plan is put together, should investors and/or lenders be contacted?

I will be moving likely within the next 8-12 months or so, and my wife and I are planning on renting out our house, so that's how I figure we will start.I've got a pretty good gig going with the AF so this will be more of a supplemental thing for me at least in the beginning so I would say I'll probably be taking a more passive role to start, although I'm open to anything.I spent the last two years as a recruiter so I've gained some valuable experience in Human Resources, advertising and marketing, cold calling, as well as general salesmanship so I think I can find a way to use those skills in this venture.

They waived the appraisal contingency, so there is a good chance I'll have to fork over more cash out of pocket than I planned on the make up the difference between the price and what I get loaned.This is a hot area of town, and aside from these issues it is pretty much everything I was looking for in terms of size, location, and quality.

Last question is, have you discussed the proposed plan with your 1031 exchange entity?

As for advice you seem to have a great plan layed out already!

But housing prices in LA/OC are ridiculous (back up to 2007 levels).
