@Chris Gillam rankings like those found on MoneySense are intersting to read, but personal experience and investing philosophy trumps rankings every time.

The second agent owns three rental properties, but his philosophy is a bit different than mine.

You would only be paying $500/mo to live in a nice place and your tenants would still be helping to pay down your mortgage, and hopefully you buy in an appreciating market.Grant Cardone's philosophy is to rent where you live and buy where you rent.

We've already vetted eachother out and seem to have similar investing philosophies when looking for properties. 

Keep in mind the old saying that the only people that win in court are the lawyers.My philosophy is to try to stay out of tenant lifestyle issues.

My philosophy is that if I leave a few dollars in the property its worth having the peace of mind and will keep me into the properties for longer as opposed to trying to pull out everything as fast as possible and getting upset when a water heater dies and selling to get away from the stress. 

If it covers room and board, yes, I would.I would probably study philosophy, art, music, literature, history, psychology, architecture.

This is to create a structure of business based on the E-myth that gets me, the technician out of the way, that allows an entrepreneurial mindset of the four hour work week and start living, with a philosophy that aligns with think and grow rich; success in any endeavor can be achieved through mental visualization, imagination and harnessing the power of your own mind.So if anyone happens to know anyone in the central east coast area of Florida I would love to hear from them.

That is my philosophy.

My personal philosophy on rentals in my market is I like to keep it very basic.
