Be mentally and financially prepared for speed bumps, road blocks, riots, fires, eathquakes and floods.

Two of the strongest ones are commercial aircraft strippers or peel away 1/ peel away .These are the strongest ones out there, since you will be painting it these do the job the fastest.

From a gray area standpoint, it's as bad as going 5 over the speed limit, or as bad as accepting that burned DVD copy from your buddy.

I am trying to get my education and get up to speed, but that one is new to me.

What I did to speed along the process of saving money for my first offer on an investment property was to start a handyman business which paid quite well with no overhead.

When I don't, I'll get them out in the fastest amount of time possible.

They actually look ok as a plumbing acess door.Randomly on a wall: only in low budget areas.For speed when I fix drywall/plaster for real, I use the quick setting powder.

Less Red Light and Speed Cameras, parking tends to be FREE. etc.As to areas, I would just suggest you use the MLS access that you have, run numbers on properties based on rent, and the usual expenses of Taxes, Insurance, Debt coverage, etc.Then once an area comes over as decent, check into if Landlords must "register" this is a new trend that provides a landlord with no discernible benefit but to simply pay a yearly fee to the municipality so they can line their coffers more.

@Filipe MatosAny of RBCs "mortgage specialists" who deal with investors on a regular basis should be up-to-speed on the 5-6 unit as residential practice/policy.

You'd think they will still be up to speed on everything though, working for the big banks.
