Decide for yourself what kind of lifestyle it is you want to lead and what style of investing will serve you the best.

One last thought, plan on hiring (at a minimum) one full time, well qualified "lead" person, and (for a variety of reasons) one part-to-full time (and much lesser qualified) "helper".

I have been looking for short sale leads from a foreclosure lists website.

This is doable because we have no debt.

Now, if the investor defaults, the lender must attempt to collect the debt from the original owner.You should do your homework on this one before you add it to your investment portfolio as it can be quite complicated and considerably more risky.

They think they have done research and what someone to take those "SS leads" and get paid on them.

I would send them leads and they would do the same with me.
