So now that you have taken on your first flip and rounding the corner for the next one do you think there will be a time when you like to pick up a rental property?

It is pretty hard to slop one in with those rounded pockets.

Hopefully, this next go-round with any new tenants will be more successful.

This is making the rounds.

I'm a fool-time real estate investor- no, that's not a typo :) and founder of The Windy City Round Table in Chicago.I say "sort of" from Chicago because I actually no longer claim IL as my primary residence.

A round of applause for them.

Yes, real estate is a business about houses but, I think most investors get farther and end up well rounded when they remember that PEOPLE live in those houses and its the people we need to relate to...

Furthermore, their circumstances and motivation for selling will vary from seller to seller and it would be absolutely distrastrous for you not to recognize that by communicating with every seller the same exact way.It would be the equivalent of trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.

Internet Rental Scam: If you have a property listed on the internet, you must read this..If you currently have your home listed for sale and/or rent-to-own on ANY popular website (CraigsList, Rental Properties, Buy Owner, etc.) please be aware of a scam that has been making the rounds for most of this past year.This specific scam is originating out of cyber cafes located in the little known Republic of Liberia (you are probably more familiar with the Republic of Nigeria to the east, and the popular e:mail scams that promise huge payouts from the Nigerian lottery, or requests from a Nigerian diplomat who needs assistance in moving cash out of his country).

If you have a square peg, and you're trying to get it in a round hole, complaining about the situation isn't going to make it work.
