Hi all,I am just getting started and am ready to get some properties under my belt.  

One I keep in my car has the glass break, seat belt cutter, and tip designed to cut clothes.

The introduction of residential air conditioning in the 1920s helped enable the great migration to the Sun Belt in the United States."

I also have a few deals under my belt. 

Justin, those 70 hour weeks is why I quit before I had any under my belt.  

While working as IT analyst for 17 I did home improvement on the side and have a number of kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and other improvement projects under my belt.

While other parts of the country ( those that are cash flow driven for SFR's ) or the neighborhoods that are predominately rentals  prices are just trundling along,  in my mind those lower end areas IE housing under 100k through out the mid west and rust belt will really not move unless some sort of subprime ( low credit score not High interest) can come into play that will allow the folks that live in these ares and are renters to move to home ownership..

The building is in the suburbs of Philadelphia and I have excellent credit with one rental property under my belt.

Get a few under your belt and it gets much easier.
