Ned - good stuff - thank you very much - I plan on attending local REIA events and networking - in my current and past lives I have built strategic alliances that served both parties - looking to do similar here.I have a sister in law and a nephew in Columbia MD - maybe when I am down that way we can connect for coffee.Thanks again.

My sister had a tenant like this.

We also have sister companies in Dallas, Indianapolis and Kansas City (all of these are great markets for cashflow investors).You are more than welcome to stop by our offices some time and come look at some of our ongoing rehabs.

This is probably more true about my little sisters that got dragged around a lot more than I did, but I've always had an interest in real estate because of his occupation.A few years ago I finally picked up Rich Dad, Poor Dad and have been wanting to convert my income into that investment quadrant ever since.A year ago, when we purchased our current primary residence, I converted our first home into a rental.

My sister-in-law lives in Mass. and the apartment she was renting upstairs the people in the unit down stairs would constantly cook curry etc. and the heat and air vents were shared in the building.

My main goals are to get properties for these strategies in descending order of importance to buy fix refi and hold, fix and flip, wholesale, owner finance, Subject To Rental, retail listing for my sister and team mate on this endeavor.

Mom and my 3 kids, her sister and her 3 kids plus various hangers-on.

Moldings are custom made as are doors and windows, just finding the wood was an issue, tiger oak isn't at a box store.Beware too, that politics will be involved in historic rehab projects, inspectors, historic committees, city council, having tax credit programs approved and the community can all influence what must be done.My SO's sister and her husband are the largest historic non-profit in Cali doing historic preservation work.

If the seller owner were my sister, I'd work something else out to save her credit and get her out of the problem, buy and hold it, second thought, I might not too.Really depends on the situation, if being underwater and swim out with a snorkel or if you need a submarine. :)Okay, I'm over it, kids at Auburn are happy and they played a heck of a game, congrats to their Tigers!

She said it would be only her and her sister and they were just looking to be closer to down town where they both worked.
