Remember, this is a marathon, not a sprint...Good Luck, and have fun!

My most fun experience was the 1st house that I bought had a new tenant move on that was taking care of her niece and nephew.

Hi Mark,Sounds like a fun problem to have!

@Odie Ayagaof course - if there's enough equity to cover the sum of all debts, there's profit.the biggest challenge i find when i look at a foreclosing property is to "know" how many loans does it have, and so there may be an unseen debt from senior positions.of course i could run a title search but its not fun to spend a hundered bucks on every property only to find out 90% of them are underwater.

Have fun - don't take yourself too seriouslylearn the pleasures of COLD CALLING sellersread financial newspapers - look for auctions - law suits -failure to pay taxes notices and business opportunitiesSearch tax sales - attend tax auctions - read probate adssit in court - listen to cases - find motivated sellerscreate a Fiduciary Buyers Broker agreement with smart agents - pay them for non-listed real estate.don't waste your time with non-responsive agents - brokers - lenders or sellersbe demanding - get answers - don't be passive - at our age (I am 75) we don't have time to waste!

It's not fun, but they put you in a tough spot.

So fun to see people close to home on here!

Not fun!

While more lucrative the boxes of receipts are really not fun especially if they wait till the last moment.

I was too busy having fun that I forgot about the future until now when I started working again after I graduated.
