Even in my local market appreciation is a ship that has sailed imo. 

So, I've moved on to looking for other opportunities while I let her think about my offer...Thanks for the reply and I'd love to meet up and chat too, at the moment I'm deployed in Guam attached to a ship out here so I won't be back for a few months.

I like the “rocket ship” analogy from the podcast talking about how hard it is to get off the ground on the first deal.

I’m interested to see if this is demand increasing across the board or a niche area improving more than others and consequently being the ‘rising tide’ lifting all ships.

I found a mentor in Dallas that I trusted and it enabled me to get the confidence up to purchase single family homes strictly for rental income in Dallas while I lived in Albany, NY.Now I have 10 deeds, 18 units as well as partial owner ship in 80 apartment units (doors) and live off the cashflow.I would suggest networking as much as you can in environments were investors have the abundance mentality and freely share information.  

That way if after a year, the silent partner wants to take the reins and fly the ship- they can knock me out of the left seat.

As to getting the best bang for your buck - buy any big plumbing and heating items from supplyhouse.com, and have a plumber install them (stay away from the big guys). they take awhile to ship but are better than the price you get on parts after the contractor markup on parts. places like ferguson only sell to contractors (If you know one that can buy here great!).

The difference between the two: modular are also known as 'ship flat' (and assembled from panels/modules on site) , manufactured as shipped 3D or such, in one piece.

Hi Folks,I just placed an order for my first shipping container home.

They're only $200 something dollars for 5000 postcards shipped to your door.
