I worked extensively with a big time REI guy here in Tucson and was very hot and heavy to buy my first home but have decided to hold off while the values keep slipping in our area.I still have a very strong interest in securing some properties domestically in the next year or two, specifically income producing properties.Beyond that I am always open to any extra streams of income (legitimate ones) so hopefully I can find some info here on markets I may not have investigated yet.

Upon last years annual trip to the accountant, our acct. recommended investigating rental property.

Just make sure to investigate the hell out of anyone you are thinking of working with.

Watch out for a fraud investigator trying to see if you are trying to sell the place without disclosing that you do not own it.Good hunting.

I know that a proper inspection will eventaully be needed but this is just real preliminary.

But as an example a couple years ago a “high up” executive in a non profit was being investigated for his 11 million per year salary...

I have preliminary approval from teh second to take a discount and I am awaiting to hear from the first.Once I get approval in writing from the second I am good to go....because it gives me enough margin in the deal even if the first won't discount.

Already have Preliminary Title Work for 3 of the properties.

(It is something I'm likely to be investigating for myself soon.)

I send people out to basically investigate a property and shuttle paperwork.
