Maybe you should watch Wolf of Wall street and refocus your efforts...

Ive recently discovered this great forum while watching finance videos on youtube.

I'll be around all September but probably watching Gamecock football most Saturdays!

I have been watching Bigger Pockets for a long time on YouTube. 

I’ve been watching all the main stream realtor websites (realtor, trulia, etc) and have noticed it’s a pretty tough market to get into.

The notifications from Zillow show up on my phone and email by saying PRICE DROP in the headline.So I've watched trends in area with a bank owned property with lots of potential, sitting there over 80 days now...

Might be tougher to blame them for watching this if it got stopped up with leaves that were not their fault.Now if they stuffed a rag in the drain (in the lease or not) I would think they would be negligent and be responsible for this repair.Might be best to make this as idiot proof as humanly possible to prevent or minimize issues with this.Maybe also setup an inspection in the fall after leaves have fallen to check this specifically along with rest of property.

I found out about it watching a podcast and they had the guy who designed it on for an interview. 

I have read several books and watched tons of videos and I’m finally going to be making my first purchase within the next 6 months .... if your interested we can go to some REI meetings together and help one another on anylyzing properties , etc ... that way we are more comfortable when the actual time comes

I watched the BiggerPockets YouTube video on the 4 square method and I’ve been trying it on some properties for sale on the MLS in my area.
