But it's not rocket science, and I made it work when the opportunity came along.I agree with you that everybody entering contracts should do so responsibly and should understand what they are getting into.

Nothing they did to achieve success was rocket science.

I promise you that modeling isn’t rocket science but using one formula to buy a multi-million dollar asset is borderline dangerous.If underwriting was as simple as 100 + 20 < 150, wouldn’t everyone be real estate millionaires?

I must say, however, "rent control" is fascinating!

I find real estate to be quite fascinating. 

Another fascinating feature of this particular house was that it didn't have a Siegler type oil burning heaters that I was familiar with (these usually sit in the center of the house).

Nearby schools include Porter Elementary School, Ontech Charter High School and Syracuse Academy of Science Charter School.

It fascinates me how to rehab from a distance versus buying something turnkey, so I have to reread a lot of threads to see what terms are being used and what I think they really mean.I am thoroughly enjoying reading and learning from everyone.

I am a huge social science fan, with a particular admiration for those who spend their time turning positive social theory into social practice.
