Is is a residual income stream I have built up.

once you're well versed in that, pick up another technique to control property.with that being said, the most important skill you can have starting out is getting motivated sellers to call you. all the money and credit lines in the world do know good without a steady stream of leads coming in.

If you dont care to do it to produce an income stream, well maybe its just not for you.

If you believe you know the potential income stream once the property is re-habbed (i.e., you have a sense of the likely rent structure, operating expenses and financing costs), you capitalize this income stream to estimate the value of the property after re-hab.

If the property is outside of a city, its unlikely you'll find anything.The idea of going to the city and getting detailed blueprints of a property is a movie myth.

Housing Stinks, etc. but in reality, this is one of the best times ever to be a TRUE investor.Remember the movie Wall Street where they mention that Gecko was short selling NASA stock right after the shuttle blew up.

They rise, if at all, because they produce a greater income stream.

You're also creating an income stream, but not real wealth.

I'd say - if you've got a revenue stream, stick it out.

I've seen this movie more times than I care to share.
