I went to the Broward Subto meet up last week and this morning I went to the Breakfast with Pace meetup in Fort Lauderdale.

It doesn't take long to learn how to spot a good deal.6.

I note a tinge of Bosnian in your last name.

I live in San Diego, CA and purchased 3 single family homes over the last year, 1 in TX and 2 in OH.

Hi all I am new to real estate and just bought my first property last year.

Walkable to locally owned restaurants and the street had mostly owner occupied homes that are owned by long time owners.

The benefit of this is that you are not paying Hard Money rates so in long term there is a lot of savings going this route.

At the end of the 5 or 7 years, if I keep the property that long, it's rinse, lather, and repeat. 

But my long term is rental mainly. 

They get hail storms there.No cap ex or anticipated cap ex.Rent is slightly lower than market because I have long-term, excellent tenants.The Dallas area is still growing, so selling is probably something I'd regret.Been renting the house since 2011, when I bought it.
