It seems that their general consensus on real estate investing is to buy distressed properties, rehab and flip them, only holding and leasing them in some cases (I do plan on purchasing only distressed properties, unless an amazing turnkey opportunity presents itself) The way I see it is, in the short term, flipping is going to make you money a lot quicker, but, being so young and acquiring numerous property's at a young age, holding/renting and having them paid off by the time I turn 36-38 (if the plan doesn't deviate too much) is going to allow for a huge cash flow, help me to build my portfolio even greater and allow me to invest heavily in commercial real estate.

There could be numerous other reasons.  

I've read numerous blogs, listened to numerous podcasts and read the recommended books and I'll be perfectly honest...my brain is on information overload.

The more you read, learn from the forums, and listen to BP podcasts, the more realistic the idea of buying numerous properties in 1 year will sound.

I am very inexperience with the exception of the numerous books read but has decided this is something I would live to pursue.

But there are numerous things that can prevent it from going FHA without the seller fixing it in advance or you going 203K.Your mortgage broker is like your realtor.  

It can be a major hassle to collect rents for numerous different LLC's.

Put it on the market last week and have already taken numerous applications. 

It probably wont be all that expensive and will save you numerous headaches. 

I have left numerous emails, voicemails, and finally a registered letter, which got there attention.  3 weeks later and right after reciving the registered letter I receive a voicemail, stating they do not see why a 3 month inspection must be done and he doesnt want it performed.
