So I bought the chamberlin course  studied passed the test just after my 18th birthday, launched into RE sales with terrible results almost quit many times, many tears as well,Well I finally made my first sale and got a 900.00 commission... the light bulb went off I would have had to work months for that money and that particular sale took me all of maybe 5 hours of work... within a year I had made almost 50k in commissions and bought my first house in Milpitas CA.

It seems like this birthday is a big bummer for a lot of people, but I woke up today at 5 am excited to get out of bed and get my day started. 

Then cosmetically, go cheap on new flooring and paint, because that will all have to be redone when you are ready to sell.When it is time to sell, you remove the tenant damaged flooring, upgrade to better stuff, add some pots of flowers, do a new paint job, and it should be close to ready to go back on the market.Oh, and screen your applicants very carefully.

(and Happy Birthday,in 3 weeks!) 

I would really like to have at least one apartment deal under my belt by my 24th birthday on may 30th.

Phil F.to answer your question the areas I am accustomed to purchasing in are either working class or urban neighborhoods such as Fountain Square, Bates Hendricks, Drexel Garden, Emerson Heights, Little Flower, Old Southside, Irvington.

Plain kitty litter, not the flowery de-odderizing stuff, otherwise your vehicle and shoes will smell like wild flowers and cats will follow you. :) Yes, I'm bored!

People painting and planting flowers tend to want to stay long term.

But if there are A cash-flowers out there, I'd be curious to check them out myself if you don't mind sharing.
