Hey Buddy thanks for the info.What about the envelope?

I have a buddy of mine who is pretty handy and is open to working with me on A. building up my own portfolio and perhaps managing them for me when I need to focus on school for months on end and B. through networking and experience become competent enough to start managing other properties.

My buddy's uncle a few years back bought two houses on a street right next to case and put BIG money into them.

@Julie McElroyA buddy filled an out of state owner 3 family with 10 beds, she gets 100 a month per bed and is making 1K a month on a property she doesn't own or manage.The owner is getting more rent than conventional and my buddy kept the rent high at her 3 family across the street.Paul

I will likely consult a few private investing buddies of mine first.I have not reach out to the sellers about financing through them.

Make sure to mention you will tell all your buddies and investors about how much they helped you.

Some people are getting insurance bills 10K more than the previous year.A buddy of mine bought an old Victorian with a bunch of bedrooms in a tourist area.

I like you ole buddy, but we aren't going to agree, LOL.

Hey Buddy, you're doing good.

There's also some good guides in the intro forum.. http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/86/topics/106912-east-bay-meetup---dec-10-in-oakland @Joey Budka , watch it buddy!
