@Lue Brooks nice goal of starting with being active in the forums, reaching out to others here etc.As a matter of fact, as a fellow newbie I made a similar commitment, but since I had just read the book '10x rule' by Grant Cardone at the time, I decided to try to 10x my posts of that time (I was at 50 posts then) to 500.

@Jay Hinrichs Thanks for your offline back and forth on this topic... you rock sir. your welcome this scam has been going on for years and years.. its just more prevalent now with the faceless interaction we get on the internet and e mails.. enabling folks to get scammed much eaiser..

As you have found out, you must run your numbers before you are committed to a property.

Welcome to the site and congrats on making the commitment!

$10,400 + $15,000 = $25,400.I am married with 2 kids and love the family time, so 1-2 transactions per year is a small time commitment and just barely cuts into family time.If I sell 2 transactions in a year then I buy another property that year as opposed to every 2 years.I put all houses on a 15 year loan.

Recently I've decided to pull the trigger and commit.

As most of you know, FHA loans come with a 3yr commitment where the owner cannot own any other real estate. 

In return for the commitment and remarkable hustle I'm willing to put in, I expect to become a whale in this industry.

All my tenants are on M2M from day one.Landlords are turning their investment property over to total strangers that have no inherent commitment to their landlord regardless of a lease.
