My love for real estate came when i helped my mothers friend remodel his home to get it ready for selling.

My family owns a few Mortgage franchises and my Mother is a very successful broker in El Paso.

However I can see a 50k a year W 2 person thinking they just hit the mother lode and for them they did...

We never wanted to landlords, espeically in our own home, so we said that at least we increased the value of our home by making it a mother-daughter.

My mother is a writer and I proof read her work growing up.

It is almost overwhelming the amount of stuff I need to learn, but slow and steady wins the race, and I know BP will help me along the way.I would consider myself new to real estate, even though my mother has been in the business for 20+ years.

I'll be increasing the rent when the contract renews, as well as refinancing.I bought another house in Eastern NM, which I currently live in.I am looking to purchase additional properties in my area.Full Disclosure: My mother is a realtor with Keller Williams in Maryland, and I am using her for referrals and advice.

Mother passed away Feb. 9.

And he did have a place to go ( his parents) His mother called me sometime after the event and said he was never the same from when he got back from Active duty...Its a tough bizz this foreclosure bizz

I'd rather have the higher payment, how you use or save your money is up to you, no real need to run it out to 30 years unless you don't trust yourself managing your money.Loans to immediate family are exempt, mother, father, sister, brother.
