He is a solid no BS guy and has been an investor as well.

Thanks for the input guys.

Hey Guys & Girls.

That said, I know people who have made good money in really bad locations, but I would argue they took on a much higher risk. 

It’s not too bad, needs work for sure.

Hey Guys! 

You'll get some additional benefits with a CSS if you replace an item as you'll be able to claim loss deduction, and also your heirs might benefit if they inherit a property with CSS (too bad you have to die for that though).And then there is the question of the value of money now, vs in the future, or the future value of invested tax saving.So, now that I gave you (most of) all the balls, try and juggle them all in the air and see how it goes for you.I can tell you I choose to spend the money and get CSS for two of my SFR rentals.

Hello everyone, I'm not an experienced investor I should say from my experience that I'm a terrible one, we owned a doublewide on a 1 acre lot in Gainesville Ga that took us a lot of work to pay off ($59,900 owner financed at 10% interest) but once we finish it we tried to rent it out and it didn't work, tenants destroyed the property so we left it alone for a few years.Two years ago I decided I was going to fix it myself and I did, it took me 1.5 years and at least 20k but once we finish it we had a bad storm in Georgia (Irma) and three trees fell on top of the house.

Anyway, not a bad idea...

Hey everyone hope you guys are all doing well.I am reaching out to everyone because I want to get my foot in the door into the real estate world and would love to work with a team or single person who is flipping houses, doing rentals, etc.
