Am actually researching and networking for a RE Attorney in the Southwest FL area, who is very well rounded in many phases of the REI arena, who also works with many investors.Looking forward to hearing from some of our BP Attorneys.

Leverage.The who what when where why and how can be argued and go round and round all day but the fact is hands down the best investment for 50K is a leveraged investment, find your maximum leverage.I know it sounds simplistic, almost too simplistic, but too many get lost in all the banter of how and forget the fundamentals and end the day in a deal that "was supposed to" have xyz returns, but was never a leveraged deal.If that were all I had and would ever have........

Rent prices and demand are lower, but I would say it is possible to rent year round here.

Example would be as follows:$1695 - Amount tenant pays for rent$152.55 - Property management fees (9%)$1542.45 - Amount paid to myself$1469.02 - Mortgage payment$1500 - Amount I pay for mortgage (I prefer to round up just to pay a little extra on the principal)This leaves me with the $42.45 profit from the property.I'm not sure how to buy in an additional market (or even go looking for one for that matter) where I could purchase an additional property for income purposes.

We had at least 12 people attend the meeting, with round table introductions, and some great discussions.

ering to purchase the property for the licensee's own account as a result of contact made while acting as a real estate agent.Now, the instructor is experienced, well-rounded, and I trust her information.

I've gotten stuff from other people because you can always learn something but for a well rounded education and support I think you should check out Ron and decide for yourself.

The lender still has to rotate among multiple appraisers on a round-robin basis pursuant to appraisal guidelines, but the better lenders have a known group of local appraisers that they use.In other words, you really need to nail your take-out financing down with a very good lender that knows investor loans.

This property met all of our investment requirements so we made an offer and after several rounds of negotiating we had the property under contract. 3) I would still do that deal today.
