All you'll need is a book of phone numers and you can stay busy for a long time.And getting with the times, you can work the internet sites, craigs list and local FSBO sites.

Having a concentration of units in one complex that I don't have total control of just doesn't make a sound business plan IMO.

I want to buy a house but I haven't had a job in years.I'm just starting to make money in my internet business and I'm working with a partner putting together lease option deals.In the next couple months, I fully expect to have at least $50K in the bank and at least one LLC setup for my business.I was thinking about doing a lease-option but I'd much rather set down roots and just buy a place.
