Keep your eye on the goal.   

But yes I do completely agree about income/expenses and really keeping an eye on that savings rate.2- I've thought a little bit about this but haven't really considered it heavily because in my area, a duplex for example is about $700,000.

Hi Joshua,Finding yourself eyeing up a killer deal without the cash upfront is a spot many of us have been in, so you're definitely not alone in this.

I'm also trying to keep my eyes peeled for properties that require some rehab (kitchen/bath/flooring/etc).. not major projects.Details: -I have set aside $350k of expendable cash, and I'd like to leverage this. 

@David Krulac You've got good eyes for great deals :)

I would also hire a Home Inspector that is local to the property you are buying so that at least you can have some sort of "professional eyes" on the property.Hiring a home inspector might be more cost-beneficial to you too. 

Having a hard time finding much of anything with cash flow, so setting my eyes on appreciation and equity.

I have been eyeing Las Vegas recently, and Arizona a while back. 

Our listing agent emailed him back to knock it off, and we flagged every online listing we could find.If you find someone running this scam on your property, you should let the neighbors know to keep an eye out for suspicious activity.

You can keep an eye on things just by doing your normal routines.
