Agents all the time say, "I don't know, you'd have to look into that yourself", precisely so they are not on the hook.  

I want to call the shots in my own life and be my own boss, and I believe real estate is the vehicle that suits me best.

Each property has a class code, or more precisely a subcode, corresponding to a property in the Schedule E.I use the "class" and "subclass" function where "class" is for "state" and subclass is for property.

You will sign a statement stating that you agree to live in the property for at least 12 months.It's not meant as an investment vehicle.

I saw income growth as the path to a "better" vehicle or "better" widget I'd barely notice was improved.

I have always had more faith in real estate as an investment vehicle than say the stock market.

It's slower but if you could get 7%ish on your passive vehicle without a capital gain tax bill then that would be more than $2600/mo to dump on debt.Another stodgy but sure way to get where you're trying to go would be to take a page from Dave Ramsey and other financial planners and consolidate and eliminate debt one of two ways.1.

This was a good read, I just moved here and am looking at vehicles to invest in.

I take different routes through different neighborhoods to look for things like - comp rental rates, new for sale signs, auction signs, distressed property, contractor vehicles, etc.   

Specifically, what R.E. investing vehicles (SF/MF/Wholesaling, etc.) best suites what I want for my futuristic R.E. portfolio & goals. 2) Searching for R.E. beginners and seasoned investors to share their experiences and knowledge within the field (and from application).
