However, I'm game on a BP meet-up and will now watch for them.

@Clayton Swansen watched a very interesting podcast www.biggerpockets.com/show75that will have some very good insight on mobile home investing.

Nobody can beat appreciation, but you need to know timing too, if it's out of state, you don't need to watch timing that much as you'll more likely rely on cash flow.

I have never watched those flipping shows because as they may show that you can flip a house and make money to me it’s just too scripted and too fake.

I read rich dad poor dad and watched a YouTube video by Jay Morrison on buying a multi family home to get wealthy.  

I am currently watching the "free course" now and taking notes, so I can be somewhat prepared.

I'm watching the MLS for deals everyday; retail is not a viable strategy right now (if you're looking for deal flow).Kirk

I'd be carrying a mortgage payment of about $800/mo (which I could afford if I happened to not have any tenants at a given time.Any thoughts or directions that you all could point me in to make sure I'm up to speed on what questions I should be asking during the showing and what kind of costs I might be looking to incur that I should be watching out for.Thanks BP members!

I have watched a bunch of the BP podcasts and have started using the analysis tool.

I will have to admit that i have thought back many times to before i was married and had 3 kids that if i could have done it again that would be what i would have done.Condos could be good could be bad... the thing you want to watch out for is the association and how often the increase the dues... they tend to cut into your profits.
