The only time I'd say it's an okay idea is if either: The area you're investing in is expecting so much appreciation that you will easily profit off that (watch out for mortgage interest though...the appreciation needs to be higher than what you pay in that and expenses to make it profitable)You have some specific reason for wanting to do it- family ties, future home, major long-term hold, etc.Maybe I'm forgetting another one, but those two are all I have for now...

It's always way better to have cash flow than none at all.  I

Hello all. I

I am a newbie in this realm and looking forward to learning all I can in this endeavor of becoming financially independent.

That is all I said and we scheduled a meeting for the next day to come into his office.

Also I would talk with those that install systems they usually have a good feel for areas and maybe will do an onsite inspection.for me if just vacant land and all i need to do is dig a 3 foot hole to get soil samples I am going to just do that. 

Hi All!  I

Seriously, all I can tell you is this:Showing you screenshots, and a ton of leads from my website is a direct indication of the effectiveness of what I am telling you. 

Hello to all, I am also a rookie just starting out.
