I’m motivated to bring the same dedication to real estate.I’d love to connect with others who started small and scaled their portfolios or anyone experienced in land flipping, wholesaling, or creative financing strategies.

Somebody told me that she is "trying" to bring back money from Dubai. 

You can negotiate pretty well right now and we'll see what the next two months bring with the Fed meeting again and the election. 

We really like our new property management but we didn’t anticipate the house being empty for so long because the fleas were having a hard time being exterminated .However we will be bringing in $2100 rent  on this house and I feel that once a tenant in place I would like to negotiate to a lower fee as it seems the “ GM” part of the job will be over for the most part. 

If you were going to rehab and sell, you could just bring on a money partner and split the profits and manage the work.

So interest really doesn't bring a 'down side' in the big picture.Appreciation Example:10 - $100,000 cash properties appreciating at 6%/year = $40,000/year appreciation50 - $100,000 financed properties ($20,000/unit down) appreciating at 6%/year = $300,000/year appreciationIn addition - you get to depreciate 3.3% of your properties each year.3.3% depreciation on $1,000,000 in cash properties = $33,000 in depreciation3.3% depreciation on $5,000,000 in financed properties = $165,000 in depreciation.All the best!

Those are fantastic strategies, and your interests outside of real estate bring such a well-rounded perspective.
