I'm going to stay out of the political stuff, but just wanted to point that out. 

I hate when agents/sellers fail to disclose stuff like this, such a waste of everyone's time. 

I could probably make the stuff if I had a mind to!

I obviously don't know squat about tenants rights in Reedsburg, Wisconsin, but I'm going to guess that if we can find ways around the tenants rights stuff in the Bay Area, there will also be ways around it for you in Wisconsin. :)

My wife and I used the credit card for some fertility stuff here recently.

I bought 3 homes (2 in Rochester, 1 in Brighton), that only needed me to change the locks and install smoke detectors (and a few more minor stuff).

REIA's are great for entertainment and exposure to those selling dreams and stuff - but they will not move you forward fast enough.You give me the impression of being impatient and want to reach your financial goal - maybe before you even have them.I too know many of those 7 figure income people and own a unit in Manhattan and other states.Those 7 figure income people got where they are by making right decisions - they have the ability to see right through a novice and a bad or unprofitable deals and have the ability to dismiss an individual without mercy!

Or if you have the experience to take advantage of out of state stuff go for it.

I don't live in Phoenix however... then again... that's the beauty of investing in the big stuff!

;) @Chris M is a lender if you're looking for someone who knows their stuff..
