Besides, I'm not sure of the power of blogs anyway...although I've written a few myself....

In exchange, I have first rights to sell the property through a power of attorney. once it sold, the seller get his agreed price, and I get the rest.

With your income, you may qualify for an FHA loan with a smaller down payment, but buying now could limit your borrowing power and increase monthly payments.

Is the property under a high tension power line or down wind from the horse rendering factory or on a main thoroughfare or some other obstruction that you wouldn't want to live near?

This deal highlights the power of well-executed renovations and a strong partnership in achieving impressive profits.

If you don't care about income and are more of a capital gain kind of guy, prices are already high (as you noticed) and there's plenty of land available to buy so I'm not sure how much is left in the tank.

For high interest mortgages, usually break even or negative.  

I am also a huge fan of real estate and for the past 50 years there's been a way to combine both.By leveraging a Self-Directed IRA, real estate investors enjoy both the traditional advantages of property ownership and the additional tax benefits of retirement accounts, creating a powerful wealth-building strategy.

Rents seem high and in demand as well.

All the power to you!
