I like to compare and contrast for my area (Northside) and see how the numbers play out. 

It sounds like you're looking for a CRM..I currently use Seize The Market and in the past ive used Top Producer and Lion Desk...I'd just run a Bigger Pockets search to see what others are using and then go out and research them further.There was a BP forum post I read a couple of years ago where someone compared and contrasted several programs (including 2 of those I mentioned) like Contactually and Mail Chimp.Best of luck to you!

I'm not suggesting making crazy low offers just to be a jerk, or a "bottom feeder" as you put it.While I'm surprised to see such a large contrast between the community and the site management, I understand you all have your individual experiences and are sharing them with me.

The fact that you can buy a house at $300k and rent it for $2k and have that investment make sense would contrast with much of what they've read about investors buying houses in other parts of the country.

This is the contrast between the 30,000 foot view of the sector.

During my transition, I devoted more time to learning about multi-family investing applying for jobs. i covered a lot of ground during a period of several weeks and I've since moved into a performance-based job with greater income potential--in contrast to the capped income at my prior role--and the idea of investing has become more practical than ever.It would be an amazing opportunity to connect with folks in the Miami area to grab a coffee/drink, or even touch base via phone. ☕ or🍷 vs.

As I said, it is basic, but even if I double the end result, it would still leave each kid around $107,702.Contrast that to saving up to put 20% down + closing costs + light rehab on a $125k purchase price rental property, letting the tenant pay the bulk if not more than your holding costs over 15 years. 

Higher end places, I use eggshell or satin b/c it looks better.I stopped using "rental white" a few years ago and now use a faint green Benjamin Moore "sea mist" or a half-tone "sand" color and contrast it with bright white on any trim.

That income goes to pay off student debt.Option B: A fair contrast would be to use DR's suggestion to pay off consumer debt with the $200k, and then using debt to buy the real estate.

By contrast, passive forms of income like interest, dividends, royalties, rent from real property, or the sale of an asset held over time to produce such passive income will not have tax liability, and are therefore more suitable for an IRA.Your IRA "broker" (actually a custodian) is passive in nature and does not vet your investments for compliance with the law.
