Get some blood and sweat on you.

All 3 years of the blood, sweat, and tears.

Oh and don't forget, extra job will do two things, decrease Debt to income, plus you can use extra cash for debt payoff or down payment.If you still fall short, you can always sell couple of bottles of blood a month or/and if you still have any energy left, get a third weekend job.I honestly would do all that, not because i want to get into my own house so bad, because getting my first property will give me the taste of blood that real estate investing is.

I'm looking for some great areas to invest in within a 3 hour radius from New York. Frankly it's too expensive over here and I'm itching to get in.

How's Pennsylvania or Connecticut?
Any advise is much appreciated

Indy        One but there is new blood and one of them worked for the one I funded.. funded 43.

Every property we've been interested in in our area in the last two months is gone before we can look at it, seems hard to get ahold of a good deal, because we take longer to run numbers than hardened investors - so it seems like we only have time to evaluate the properties passed on by "blood hound" investors like you who can sniff out a good deal, and pass on something like this.

I've spoken with other investors and the problem is 2% properties typically are trying to get blood from a stone.

You can't squeeze blood from a rock, sometimes they just don't have the money and you have to wait.

I am glad he wasnt hurt only a few razor scrapes on his forearm  and some blood spattered on the door and walls, and by being a good samaritan to him in return he was able to save me from losing about 8 windows and some other materials I had stored there.

Still too rich for my blood, and as I turned to walk away I could feel their disdain.But wait – there’s more!
