John, have you used siri and to set up reminders like when you get somewhere to remind you something?

Curt, your response reminds me of one of the "Thank You Notes" written by Jimmy Fallon.

You might need to PM me to remind me.

(painting a rosy picture again).I just don't want people starting their investing career to get snookered into a marginal deal that sucks them dry and crushed their real estate investing dreams.Meanwhile a turn key company has burned and churned another one.It reminds me of new real estate agents entering the business and getting bled dry from businesses selling them stuff the first year until they have no money left.If you are a turn key company then I would have buyers that have purchased and have had great results on my website.Even their name and number if possible.

Your question reminds me of car sales people who ask "what's the most important thing to get you into a car" and then structure the deal to meet that criteria and put the screws to you in some other way.The number one criteria should always be the deal itself.

This reminds me of squatters in Dallas-http://www.wfaa.com/news/crime/From-Eviction-to-Jail-135537188.htmlI'm not an attorney but maybe they can also be charged with burglary, or at least threaten to do so if they don't get the heck out.

I figure if I dont factor in cashflow for right now, the numbers work, and I assume rent increases by the time I plan to rent it will give me my desired cashflow.Please just help remind me what steps to take and what not to forget...

Reminds me of when I first heard of the concept of real estate investing (17 yo - or maybe that's just when I started paying attention) and I met a kid/co-worker who was on his way to college financed by an 18 unit apartment building his parents had purchased for him when he was 6 years old.

I have to constantly remind myself to stay away because there is always more to the story and too much risk for me.Indy has a good ratio for cash flowing.

It's a reminder of the need for a contingency plan, in case we go offline for a little bit.
