Now granted, they weren't the manliest of men, but really...I still feel there's some basic threshold of general working knowledge of the world that you should be asked to cross before your mother takes you out to buy your first pair of long pants.

That is my line of work and it pairs very nicely with real estate.A market that is already exploding is likely to be tougher to find deals in (like Austin, Portland, etc.).

Pair that with the job and population growth and you cannot afford to invest anywhere else.

@Willie Taylor There are lots of different ways - direct mail, door knock, bandit signs, your website paired with Google adwords, Facebook ads, word of mouth, networking, wholesalers, other investors who may pass on properties that don't work for them.

You will spend an hour going to the store to try on a pair of $100 shoes, spend the time and effort when you are spending $25-$50k.

All this paired with the financials will help you make a good decision.If you would like to connect; my wife and I would be more then happy to talk with you and your husband more about this!

My personality type pairs well with someone who is reliable, focused, and great at planning.Ok great.

I was thinking of buying a pair used to give the house an added amenity to help entice renters.

Another pair of eyes to look at your deal.4.

Such as:Paint walls in basement laundry room (it’s in a the basement)Remove bars from basement windowFix or replace dryer making noise (it heats ups and works)Paint basement doorClean cabinets and sink (they are emptied and clean)Paint basement floor (it was paired during turnover)Clean all windows (8 of them are new from this turn over)Back yard clean up debris (he didn’t like the leaves in the back yard)The inspection process for Baltimore City section 8 is so broken and subjective.
