I currently rent and love my job in Disability Insurance Operations (and the Maine Army National Guard) but am looking to create a more financially successful present and future.I have read Gary Keller's Millionaire Real Estate Investor and the site's very own, Brandon Turner's, The Book On Rental Property Investing.So far I've gotten a pre-approval letter and a realtor.

I have the photographic evidence evidence and an army of people to support this.

My baby brother just retired from the Army 2 days ago after serving about 34 years. 

So I may take back what I said to Logan; A 5/1 ARM is great if you hope to refi or plan to sell.

Little Rock, ARMy questions are: 1) This property neighbors a multi-family property (also for sale) that is 24 Units.

First off, I am a college graduate while serving in the Army NG out of Indiana.

Goodwill, Salvation Army (my personal fave!)

I went into the Army, then tech school afterwards, so no degree for me.

In my area - anecdotal to be sure - there's virtually no empty retail except in a rough area or a building that's dilapidated and badly in need of renovations, and even those tend to become Salvation Armys or "Title Loan Here" operations.

When I was buying in DuPage there was a group of Indian investors who had very low labor costs.
