Mike LaCava - Mike, looking forward to meeting you as well - congrats on the full time gig.We've been talking to a number of agents, people, etc and have a couple prospective deals in the works... one thing right now is a 6-family being offered to us - needs work and we're not entirely keen on the idea holding it ourselves due to location.. but we don't want to leave money on the table... we were thinking of wholesaling it again since there could be enough meat on the bone to do so.. is this common practice?

My wife and I relocated to Dallas from the Carolinas in 2010 and I have keen working my life away in an upper management job ever since.

I've always been keen on the idea of real estate investing as a way to build wealth and provide financial freedom and security, but until recently I never really understood what it meant to invest in real estate.

It’s important to get really keen on what to expect in those markets for both long term and mid term.

Landing pages for lead capture, Local search engine traffic for the website, email campaigns with a keen ability to focus and find specific information in a very short amount of time.

I have worked for three community banks over the past 6 years and every board member remembers what it was like back in 05-07 and are keen to make sure that it didn't happen again. 

However, with my property in Virginia generating positive cash flow, and the mortgage being paid by tenants, I’ve become keenly aware of the incentive to soak it all in!

I see that @Saberian Younger and @Jim Robertson are keen on 78741 and 78745.

I make an offer on nearly every property I look at, and in many cases a full asking price, if not a little above to ensure we get it, especially when it's too keenly priced.

Similar to you, we'd like to do a 640 sq ft unit (the max allowed in SMC) and are looking at homes with this goal keenly in mind.Are there any hidden traps, things we should be aware of going into this, or things that you wish you had been able to better plan for?
