Newbys like myself are rapidly becoming real REI's, with the help of BiggerPockets!

Hello,

It's great to be a part of the group. I look forward to hearing from you.

The development is so rapid and new construction is booming and is supposed to for the next while.

Nice to live in a rapidly growing area!

The neighboring town of Sunny Hills, FL, which is 18miles away is growing at a rapid pace, so I'm not sure if they should sell now.

We are rapidly approaching the end of 2007, so I thought it would be appropriate to revisit special year-end 1031 exchange strategies, etc. by bumping this post from last year.

Ya I couldn't agree more....Here's my list of reason for doing REI:1) You can never get fired so you have permanent job security2) You can work from home which has it's own huge set of advantages3) You can set your own schedule, wake up when you want and work as many or few hours as you want.4) You set your own pay5) You're often earning as much or more than high power doctors and lawyers.6) Once you have as little as 1 apartment building you likely have enough income to never have to work again if you don't want to.7) As you continue to acquire rental properties your month cash flow rapidly goes up into the five figure range and eventually even six figures.8) You can do a deal from almost anywhere in the world.

HiMy names Eric MedemarI am a newer investor from Grand Rapids, MI.

The market here is very stable...we don't see a lot of appreciation but there's also very little fear of losing great sums of money due to a rapid depreciation.

I work the Grand Rapids Market very successfully and would be happy to help you with your market in Kazoo.Eric Medemar
