I currently teach so, I am looking for creative ways to build capital to start my first project.  

I recently compared the numbers for the no/negative appreciation style markets with the no appreciation but good cash flow markets.

I may not be able to teach you overnight but I can show you the map that has taken me here!

A book that teaches you how to analyze the population of your target demographic in your city (is there enough of your chose demographic in your city that rents), and help you think of ways to improve your property to target this demographic?

Since your in New Mexico, what's the architectural style and approximate age of the house?

Additionally, I am sure your lease has some clause in it where it outlines the ramifications of non-payment of rent, you have to stick to that.Otherwise, the school of hard knocks is waiting to teach us a lesson.

@Jason Chen@Quang Tran I am also 19, about to be 20 and I couldn't take another second of that ******** that they were teaching in College.

It teaches you nothing, though about investing.

I'm still deciding what to do about them, but these floors are fir, not hardwood, the paint is likely lead-based, and the painted floor (in the bedrooms) fits the house's style.  

@Rick Pozos is the master of teaching through showing.
