Having a Gas card and a retail store credit card are good ways to build up your credit.

Hi SkoupeI did some surfing on property in KS.

You might also find these helpful when evaluating the income potential / cash flow impact of new prospective deals.One recommendation--build up 3-6 months of expenses in a savings account (money market or whatever) for each property.

Also, you are right that over time, doing the creative deals (or what I call the "Pretty House Strategy") will build up passive income and chunker income at the same time.

But Jeremy,If you do answer the question here, then everybody thatreads these boards can learn.We're here to learn.Also, if you do write a substantial piece, you can turnit into a pdf file and offer it on your own website likeyou see Josh doing here (on the left column).Over time you would build up quite a bit of info andthat can only be good for your business.

Build up the content and you should be able to do fine in the search engines, too.

But the hard part is I want to live in a nice area and nice areas tend to be much harder to get positive cash flow (assuming I imagine I'm paying myself normalized rent prices for that area).If cash flow is so important, which it is to me since I'm basically trying to build up capital for future investments, maybe it's better if I rent some place cheap with friends and buy a less expensive property in an area I don't want to live (really south when I'm trying to stay closer north).

You can pull your cash out for fix-and-sell deals and pay off the credit line, and build up enough cash to buy another fix-and-rent property and do it all over again.

I would consider buying a few and reselling them until you build up enough cash to buy and how a rental.I hope this helps.

With limited money I am trying to build up credit (and cash) to make some larger investments.
