If you have a great SPECIFIC investment vehicle, it won't take long for you to build that list.

I have decided to commit most of my time to doing real estate investments as a vehicle to move out of full time RN work.

You do need to be ready and able to assess their ability to manage your business and make a change if needed - that's a critical but different skill than being a landlord - and precisely the point where some business experience comes into play.

While 911 may have been a tragedy, and an excuse for Bushco to begin to subvert our civil liberties; as far as human deaths go (not trying to minimize the heartache of those directly affected) it was about the equivalent of one month's of motor vehicle accidents.i cant remember were its at on utubePossibly between the roller skating dogs and cats using the toilet?

Who stores vehicles in a SWAMP???

:roll:Oh, I removed items regarding more than one story or basements, and other things I knew did not apply in my situation, parking, vehicles, multiple units, which were covered in the checklist at the site below, a Minneapolis list.

I got the point on the flying analogy.......It makes sense....BUTAnytime someone says but it means they don't agree......in this case I agree but have something to add.............BUTIf you do not know how to fly you can still get in an airplane and go from point A to BYou just need an experienced PilotIf you do not know Find Someone who does........Find a way to enlist their knowledgePay them if it neccessaryBut get the knowledge.Most people could learn to fly in a single hour of instruction.Landing may take only 10 hours the min requirement to solo40 hours min to be certified.Cost 5 to 7 K $Of course your learning to fly shouldn't end there....Flying is easyTaking off a bit harderLanding the hardestInvesting First DealDifficult to get off the ground easy once you have a property to hold or rehab....like flyingLanding.....the most difficult ....getting out of the deal with a profit.In Investing As In FlyingYou should plan your trip before you leave the ground.Inspect the vehicle to be sure nothing is wrong with it.File your flight plan (business plan)Be sure you have enough fuel (funds) to reach your destination with some reserves.Be ready to abort your landing if it dosen't look right....

Real estate is a business where it's best not to dress to impress but rather to identify with your prospect, or more precisely to allow him or her to identify with you.

Another great idea is a truck or vehicle to leave at big intersections to advertise.

I wholeheartedly agree with you.Using the same metrics how would ones typical stock portfolio, savings account, or precious metal vault (or any other investment vehicle) compare in 20 years time?
