There's no better New Years resolution than: Grow my list of accredited investors this year.

However, for my first landlord/tenant adventure, I would assume a nearby property would result in quicker response as I iron out all my learning experiences, would you agree?

Hi @Richard RhekerI would always recommend leaving it up to the professionals.The job will be done much quicker and better.

I downloaded Camtasia which worked out fine but when I uploaded my video to Viemo it came out with poor resolution.

.* Having quality properties as they are quicker to re-lease.* Having quality tenants that don't trash your place.

I just want to be quicker, and more sharp than this guy so I can take what he wants.

You also want +20% equity in the property to avoid Private Mortgage Insurance which can be costly.Bill Gulley, maybe he's going for hard money first since it can be much quicker to receive than a conventional mortgage?

I thought that would be much quicker than trying to figure out a spread sheet that could compute all the variables, especially the snowball effect.

If you were managing properties valued at 10,000,000 and you were on a 10% equity position for oversight, well, you'd have your million quicker than if you bought a million dollar property and paid it off, so don't discount the partnering aspects.

The more money you have to work with the quicker you can make things happen also.
