In all that time, I saw perhaps 1-2 things that worked well, but you have to be able to withstand many months in a row of reversal, and be well capitalized.The occasional reference I see in here to people consider forex, futures, stock or other trading to get wealth is about as wise as a person showing up on a trading forum discussing how to get rich in real estate.

Tourist wise, just take a ducktour and you'll see all the major landmarks and know the history.

I also had some help so giving a specific time is hard to estimate.IMO, you should hold decent properties in good condition and stay on top of them maintenance wise, tenant screening is key as good tenants are golden, I have had many I never really heard from and who took care of the property.

you might have nothing at all (equipment wise) and have leak in the shingles. your chimney could be there and have a slum flashing issue (caulk around the flashing).post a few pics and lets see if we can find it. it is caused by something. that's for sure. i assume no bath upstairs, right?

If I were in the building stage of my business, I'd use the money, but wisely for short term needs.

I live 12 blocks away from the building and would manage it myself.So, wise people, assuming the future looks like today, what would be a steal of a deal for this property?

But, it all works out in the end, numbers-wise.

My husband and I are both on the deed on this STL house, but financial wise (i had better credit) so the loan for 2nd house (which is now our primary) is all in my name.

You will have gained much more knowledge and if you've invested wisely you will have more to invest with as well.

It is wise to head their same concerns as they are more active right now in the market than you.
