Again, if the idea is to break the "rat race" why point out one investment as potentially risky (jewelry) while ignoring a guaranteed financial loss inherent to purchasing any new vehicle?

Then it's simply a matter of matching the property to the right buyer and you're off to the races.

With that said, though the horse already left the barn I will say that i DO read every page of the foreclosure file after i win the bid but BEFORE i pay the entire balance.

Hello all,I'm a recent 22 year old college grad with a Masters in Entertainment Business and want to get into RE investing to get out of the rat race and help fund my Fashion and recording company.

Two biggest reasons why I want to be an RE investor: 1) to be financially independent before 50 if not sooner (get out of the rat race), 2) to have a fulfilling self-directed life (I love learning and overcoming challenges).

hey guys my name is shawn jarman, i am a 23 year old welder that lives in ventura county, ca. it kind of goes without saying that if you are young, there's no way of breaking into real estate unless you inherit property or a sum of money. spent 5 years in phoenix arizona for school and ended up buying one side of a duplex for a whomping 50,000. 2 bed, 2 bath, 20% down, occupied for 800/month, monthly payment of 319/month. finally got a renter since i moved back home, and stopped hemorrhaging money. i suppose im currently buying and holding, but where to go from here to get out of the rat race further. i have a construction background and love working with my hands, just not for someone else, interested in possibilities of flipping. my renter is a family man with a son, and coincidentally does my contracting and handyman work. all in all i see possibilities, but 40 hours/ week is kind of a hindrance when investing out of state it seems. excited to hear from you guys and connecting with a community of people who want to own their own futures, rather than home town friends

If the deal falls apart you could wind up in the position of knight on a white horse for the seller.

I'm a professional race car driver from Austin, Texas.

The U.S Census predicts by 2050 whites will not be the predominate race.Mexican,Latino etc. are predicted to be.The reason is Whites on average have 2 children or less.The Mexican,Latino community have very large families with 4 to 6 children on average per couple.It's simply math that over time they will overtake the White class by numbers.Asians will grow by a large number as well.These are actual statistics so please don't start any race or political stuff people.I think different races live differently so tenant mix will have an impact with investing moving forward.

You probably won't believe this, but yes, this is a true story...Back in my realtor days I was given a lead to a widow who lived about 45 mins away in a private community in horse country.
