Hey Michael, i own and run a marketing agency and for me personally, when i see real estate experience, i automatically give the person a boost in the application/interviewing phase. for me it's just an experience we share so i'd like to talk about it or know in the future we could. so i guess i'm saying unless there is a reason not to put it on your resume i would. i shows responsibility in other areas plus additional skills, and you just never know what might make you different or unique when applying to a position. 

The idea is to boost morale and appropriation.

You can even use the same color and it still has quite a dramatic affect on the overall appearance.

N.E. has seen a dramatic inflation even since the purchase of our current property last year.

Here's another tip: take a photo and print out in color to show dramatic proof.

ok, here goes. you have no cash reserves. you need to boost your cash reserves. you need to do a couple of quick flips to put some cash in your pockets. with little money to work with, you need to buy as cheap as you can, and sell for profit. tax foreclosure sales are best. sometimes you can pick these places up for next to nothing. do your home work, though. make sure you can make money on it. i have bought some for as little as $200. then you quick flip it for say $5000. you make money, the buyer gets a good deal, everyone walks away happy and you are building your cash reserves

You need to talk to a lot of lenders, especially smaller banks and credit unions.However, the requirements for the loans, terms, the down payment and the effect on your credit probably isn't going to be dramatically different than getting individual loans for each property.  

It's always good to boost our DFW community!

i agree with lonnie but let me build on that. first, your credit report is based largely upon your pay history. paying early does nothing to boost your score ,but paying late will reduce your score quickly. so, pay on time. next, CARRY A BALANCE. it will actually lower your credit score if you do not use a decent portion of your avaliable credit. also, maxing out your credit cards will also hurt your credit, it is optimal to carry between 30-50% balance of your avalible limit on your cards. do not worry about intrest as long as what you are purchasing is ultimately going to gain you more in value that the cost of the intrest. i.e. why would you worry about a 25% intrest rate if you are going to make 50% on the house you are investing in?

So where does the economic boost come from in Rochester?
