Storing as much of your rental data in a database provides golden tidbits over time that help you learn and get better.

Because……every morning I get to go for a jog on the Embarcadero and see the sun rise over the Bay Bridge and--on really long runs--the Golden Gate bridge too.

@Jay Hinrichs casually mentions golden nuggets like placing an extra washer/dryer in your master closet, or painting your copper pipes white so they look like plastic to fool the thieves. 

As long as it is not the London Bridge or the Golden gate bridge...

. - i'll take bad credit anyday if someone will pay a year's rent up front. that's golden.

But he just needs to find a lender that will do it after 6 months and he should be golden here - provided, of course, the 4 plex appraises out.And that, to me, is the real issue here.

If you know what you're doing and who supplies you with Golden Girl type tenants.  

I had also owned my own business in residential construction and fire & water restoration.Married 28 years with 4 kids, 4 grandchildren and 2 Golden's "Bob & Marley"I am looking forward to using this community to broaden my knowledge in the industry and obtaining our goals (which our still in progress).

After that, you will be golden.

Keep the full amount available to invest, invest in solid assets that you know and understand, and you will create a large sum of wealth to draw on in your golden years.
