So I will begin posting; hopefully we will engage in some really good conversations and share great ideas and info.

Single, but soon to be engaged - shhhh...don't tell her, it's a surprise!

I really believe that those who engage the most in the forums tend to grow the fastest.

Many people build solid portfolios with GREAT owner-occupied financing this way.We have a BIG presence in the Texas area and I'm sure you'll be able to network with lots of people if you stay engaged here on the forums.Good luck & see you around.

I'm thinking it's best not to engage in such activity.

Not just for REI, but for everyone.Stick around the forums, stay motivated, engage in conversations, keep reading, just be an information sponge!

I hope my son continues to work along side of me and become confident in his decisions.

One way to ensure you stay committed is to engage in the forums, network with local investors, and read books!

Much better to get your own financial house in order so you can buy a house in the conventional fashion rather than engage in a lease/option.

The flip side is that that is a lot of energy and motivation to be picked up from being engaged with a group like this.
