My goal is to learn the art of creative financing (wholesaling really grabs my attention) and also purchase buy and hold properties to produce passive income so when I do retire from the Navy I am not stressed out because I didn't plan for life after the Navy.

I like the Bishop Arts District as an older area that is heating up.

But the one I just received is a true work of art, his 3 different methods of valuation fall within a 1.3% range of $270k, varying only $3,500!

Was wondering what peoples thoughts were on it and the contenthttp://www.amazon.com/The-Art-Double-Close-ebook/dp/B00BMANF1I/ref=sr_1_32?

For instance, if $30k/yr at a liberal arts school to become a librarian, one might not view that as good debt, whereas $1k/yr doing the same thing with a $29k scholorship might be different.

If you're structuring deals of this nature, or even on smaller scale but have a good return, I'd love to read your stories and find out the steps you've taken throughout your investing career to master the art of short sales.

Serious prep work is an art and not a lot of the cheaper crews are good at it.

That is asking for trouble big time, especially in a liberal tenant friendly state like MD.I would think the appropriate route is to buy some oil, bill it to the tenant, and evict if the tenant doesn't reimburse you for the oil.

Corporate is rolling out a state-of-the-art CRM/agent website/back office solution that's pretty exciting, too.

Definitely one of the harder things to master is the art of negotiation.
