I'm ready finally to tackle my real estate investment career.

Once they are all paid, tackle the car payments.

If it's too hard to tackle as investment property flip it, if not, own it.Happy investing!

Hi,My business partners and I will be rehabbing/flipping properties in Massachusetts and we would really appreciate if someone would be kind enough to recommend a quality contractor who will be tackling our projects.

As I'm building my portfolio of real estate I'm wondering what the easiest way to set up bank accounts as well as keeping track of tenant's payments, late payments, taxes, lease agreements, running cash flow estimates, lists of maintenance items to tackle and those that are completed, interest rate on loans, last date refinanced, years remaining on loans, etc. for each property?

Those folks are educated and want to maintain that direct relationship w/the investor they brought in the deal so alleviates the lead sponsor from dealing w/a lot of basic questions and only having to tackle the more challenging, isolated ones.  

Whether you want to tackle a foreign market is the same thought process as deciding which area you want to invest in within the US: you consider population migration, local economy, risk factors, tax implications, local laws and don't just judge on a few horror stories.A significant difference France vs US is that there is no MLS system so it is harder to assess the market and you really have to rely on local experts or work harder through listings and site visits. 

:)@Justin Young I've always been nervous to attempt to tackle mainland properties just because I don't want to lose all my profits having to go back and forth if needed.

This year is all about scaling up to working with investors to tackle larger assets.

Worked out well so far and I'll hopefully continue investing after I tackle the mountain of student loan debt sitting in front of me.
