I’m here to connect, learn, and share what I pick up along the way as I (probably awkwardly) work toward financial freedom.

And don’t hesitate to tap into local investor groups or meetups; you’ll pick up tons of wisdom from folks who’ve been in your shoes.

You picked a good week to meet other investors: the RPA is hosting their annual RPA-CON Friday and Saturday in Milwaukee.

A good friend of mine recently managed to pick up a modest duplex outside Phoenix that looked risky at first glance.. low rents, older neighborhood.. but with a few smart upgrades, it became a steady earner in under a year.You mentioned your worries about remote investing and the challenges of managing properties from afar.

After we gave him additional time to come up with the money (a mistake I know), he said he COULD pay, but that it would only be in cash (not in the lease) and we would have to come pick it up.  

The solar system adds no value to my property for rental purposes, and I may even be ripping up the roof & replacing it in the new year.Beyond sending a nasty letter through my attorney via certified mail, demanding the company come pick up their equipment, am I required to take any further action or fulfill any obligations regarding these contracts?

Pick one or two . 

Debt financing will be slim pickings

Go to the food pantry and pick up blocks of cheese.  

If this is your first purchase, Remember it is also okay to pick your closest metro as a starting place.
