Welcome to BP @Matthew Nelson Don't forget to spend time out looking at properties and learning the market as well as reading/podcast time. 

I don't know if he's been sober the whole year he's been with us, but he's had the same job, pays his rent mostly on time, is spending quality time with his grandkids and generally seems to be healthier and happier than when he first moved in.They are all responsible adults for the most part.  

Marketing with white and yellow letters can cost you anywhere from $500/month up to I've heard people spending $5,000 - 10,000 on their marketing campaign per month, not including buying or putting together lists, getting contact info and addresses, etc.

A total of 3,262,036 HELOCs with an estimated total balance of $158 billion that originated during the housing price bubble between 2005 and 2008 are still open and scheduled to reset between 2015 and 2018.

So what's the upside in spending extra money on a machine that quite often will cause you major headaches?

All,I have been spending a lot of time lately on biggerpockets forums/podcasts lately.

hi josh. i have thought at times about doing the vacation rental house thing myself. maybe some day i will do it. first and foremost, education is a great thing, but you can spend too much time on education and never spend anytime in the real world education center. my advice???

No need to spend any money!

You need to spend a little for a proper education or to jumpstart that part of your education, for sure it will be more than $1,000 if you make a mistake on your offer.

From the linked article:"Sixty percent of low-income renters spend more than 50 percent of their income on rent, according to a report in May from New York University’s Furman Center."
