kinda feel like it but hey lets see how it goes, being a New Yorker you have it in your blood to not trust anyone.

@Michael Masters Nice to meet a fellow New Yorker! 

Five round magazine?

It's about $10-12 per 50 and they seem to go fast when the magazines hold around 15 rounds.

I also read many investment magazines monthly and this is not a job, and yet I spend more time doing that than RE.I receive more than enough income to live on each month, make donations, build homes (not passive but also not required to live off) and add $$ to savings and a bypass trust.In the early stages RE was very much a job.

All sellers do one of the following. 1- they drive the neighborhood for for sale signs and call the agent or read the flyer.2- they look in the classified section of the newspaper for houses for sale3- they read Realtor magazines for prices or4- they visit open houses.If they say they don't know I ask them if they could do us a favor and drive the neighborhood for housing that's for sale with flyers and determine how their house compares to that house.

We live about 20 miles east of Downtown Cleveland, in a lakeside city rated by Money magazine as #36, in the top 100 best places to live in the US, a few years back. 

HiIs there anyone else investing in Cleveland Oh and live in NY?
