I've personally driven this neighborhood and was amazed at how nice and clean it is.

A contract is only as good as the person enforcing it.

I am really interested in meeting any in-person groups in Boston (now-May) and Chicago (September-Onwards).

I have sold some properties years ago on lease options where the tenant buyers actually exercise their right and purchased the property. ( I was in the deed.)The reason I am concerned to tie another person’s property up  with the lease option is that people can change their mind, as in the seller.  

Interest rates need to drop a certain amount in order for a person to make a transaction right now.

Explore my personal favorites, Set For Life by Scott Trench or The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey, for invaluable financial insights.3.

For Example:  All Blue houses make more money.Lots of times, I tell people not to trust me, since my topics can be vetted, plus I don't know their personal situations.Just surprised that people on the Forum don't have more Podcast visits referenced in their bylines. 

Shadow/mentor a person doing it.

Don't talk yourself into a place because of personal use.Buying a $475k condo that brings in 35k in gross rental income will lose a lot of money.

Any insights, personal experiences, or advice would be greatly appreciated!
