Hey Darryl - Here are two magazines I learned about re: real estate

Affordable Housing Finance - http://www.housingfinance.com/ahf/
Apartment Finance Today - http://www.housingfinance.com/aft/

You can preview both online at the websites, and/or subscribe. I haven't subscribed, but it looks like a good resource.

Hello all -

1) In order to post in this forum, you must be listing a SPECIFIC property for sale. If your post is here to tell people that you've got some property and you aren't specific about the actual property, your post will be removed.

2) I just wanted to let you know that we have an area within the site for posting properties. Add you properties here: http://property.biggerpockets.com .

You can easily add your properties to the database with photos, and searchable information.

Contact us if you have any questions.

Cash:
I liked your topic so much, I've made it sticky!

My favorite excuse was from a tenant who did not know where to send the rent. We had sent several letters to him with our address, and an invoice with our address. When we called to find out where the rent was, he told us he had not remembered where to mail it. This, after having sent rent on time for the previous few months.

It gets me every time :lol:

Chicago, huh? Well, if anyone is starting at the right time, you are. You'll be way ahead of the game if you get started now. Work hard and smart. Evanston is a cool place. Are you at NorthWestern? Either way, welcome.

Brett - welcome to BiggerPockets.com. I won't say you cannot quit your job in 2-3 yrs, but you'll have to make every moment count. Make good decisions and be sure not to rush things just to accomplish your 2-3 year goal.

I hope we can help you to attain some of your goals. Again, Welcome.

Maybe we can all help each other out by sharing some ideas for Valentines.

How about taking your valentine on a helicopter trip around the city after a romantic dinner?? Not bad, huh!
