This approach would really help your personal cash flow and you would learn about that aspect of investing.

I can deal with fixer-upers, as I enjoy the hands on aspect.

That way I have my hands in 3 different aspects... appraising, real estate sales, and flipping homes.Once I get a nice cushion, I am definitely going to get in to some rentals.

Sure I can, but I must say that I obviously don't have much experience in the "creative financing" aspect of real estate, but I'm learning more and more by the minute (or post).I acquired my first property on the last business day of last year.

The college culture is definately far different today that it was some years ago - especially with the classes being offered and the agenda that a lot of the professors have outside of teaching their class.Someday, probably soon, the warped attitudes and poor judgment instilled in our young people will crumble our way of life if we don't insist on bringing some grown-ups onto campus in order to give a more mature and informed view of the real world.But I thihk the other side to the issue is that if we send our kids to school without a clear idea of what the "real world" is like, then we haven't done our job as parents.

Having dual citizenship is great, but people shouldn't try to change the culture of one country to fit their habits from another country.I have visited and lived many parts of the Americas, and had many friends who have done the same in Europe, and in every situation, if a citizen of the USA were to expect everything to be done in English and well as the native language of the country (though recognizing it is like this in most big cities - but definately not the smaller cities), then the native people would be outraged.If people want to immigrate to the USA, I have no problem with it, I would probably strive to do the same, but we shouldn't change our culture to fit someone else's (such as translating the our Natinal Anthem into Spanish - I was not a fan of that.)

You have definately joined one of the better Real Estate Forums on the net.

I just need to know where to find out the legal aspects of what you can and can't do in lending private money.

When I get home I'll take a look through and see if people can make me see the light in a few of these situations.I definately would recommend the book for anyone who is looking to understand what life should be all about and not what society "hurds" us into.

but his email definately is @byn.mellon.com.
