Bill..........I'm still in tears and now my stomach hurts.

This would be in residential properties, which would include, for me, apartments/condos, as well as single-family homes and some possible commercial stuff which I would rather do whenever I have the pockets which allow me to stomach such an investment.

As for raising the score you can send a letter to the people who pulled your credit and if they don't respond you somehow get the credit bureau to take that pull off your report.Another strategy, depending on what you can stomach involves credit card debt.

You're definitely on the right path, and if you have the stomach for what others seem to think is going to be a challenge due to the area and potential tenant base and are willing to deal with the headaches, then keep digging into the numbers.

I am sick to my stomach and I'm an idiot.

Now...you do need to stomach the frequent little repairs, sometimes late collections, state or federal agencies (who pay a portion of the rent), and/or sometimes the out of place request, but that's worth 10% for me as I only get about 1-2 calls per month from my PM :)Best of luck how you proceed...

I don't suggest anyone drink as much coffee as I do, you'd need an iron stomach.

There are lots of real estate investors who are sick of being landlords and want out, because of tenant or maintenance issues that they don't have the stomach or budget for.

You need the stomach for it, though.

Those are they types of properties you can make a mint on, but you have to have the stomach for it.
