It is not easy to do, but you should not be emotionally attached to an investment property.

Waiting for the closing to purchase the first flip.

My real estate agent, writes up as many offers as I want to submit. He knows that this is just a "numbers game" and sooner or later, my offer will be accepted.

Hi Rich,
Many years ago, I drove from Ct., to California and never ate in a fast food restaurant, or any Hotel Restaurants.
At that time I purchased a book called: Road Food, Good Food. Authors are Michael and Jane Stern, they live in Ct.

The current book is: Roadfood: The Coast-to-Coast Guide to 700 of the Best Barbecue Joints, Lobster Shacks, Ice Cream Parlors, Highway Diners, and Much, Much More. No advertisements, or sponsors in this book.

The authors have a site: Roadfood.com

If you purchase this guide, make sure that you call the Restaurant to see if they are open.

If you plan on driving to Connecticut, I can recommend various sites in this state.

I enjoyed having lunch with you in Florida.

Through the years, I've had dental work done at the Dental School at the University of Connecticut.

Another note:
For years I've had my car repaired at the local Technical School. They charge a labor rate of $15 per hour, and you get the parts at the same price that they pay.

I go to a monthly real estate meeting.
Most of the "wannabe" landlords, don't know about the 50% rule.
Mortgage is $400 each month, I'm collecting $500 rent each month, I'm making money!!!
You don't know how many times I've heard this.
