I ask because if it were bought 8/22 and it just sold , thats almost 1 year . even if you did minimal improvements and had minimal carrying costs , plus real estate commissions , that doesnt sound like swift profits .This almost sounds like an ad for Brittany Scandra I am very familar with Pasadena 

Start with a property that requires minimal renovations to keep things manageable.

We have an LLC registered but haven't had much activity in it, so I was always thinking of starting a small-scale Real Estate Consulting where we could offer the afore-mentioned services for a minimal fee.

So I for one think the 30k number in 20 years is a very realistic number to have to live a very nice lifestyle as long as you have no debt or minimal debt. health insurance auto insurance TAx on your home and utls food clothing etc is going to run folks at least 5 to 7k a month.. so what great life is one going to have on 3k a month.

I know that everyone wants to get the lowest downpayment possible, but I've run into an issue where some lenders either don't accept seller financing or they allow for a very minimal amount.

They basically lack minimal economics understanding.  

You will likely advance in your career, have no or minimal housing expense and otherwise see your ability to stockpile after tax liquidity accelerate.

However, the law requires me to find a replacement renter was quickly as possible and minimize the financial impact to the tenant.

The property is great and currently has minimal vacancy.

We—not the Oregon relatives—manage the management company and have had good luck with the company and the tenants (few headaches and minimal time suck).We’re considering buying out the other owners for several reasons.
