What you are considering involves far more than just having documents, it involves using intelligence.

I always went above and beyond the typical agent duties by getting very involved in the due diligence, dealing with county/ city planning and zoning etc, for two reasons, because I loved it and to help ensure my deal would go through by providing as much information to my client as possible to help them make a quick and intelligent decision.

I'd also recommend; - "The Richest Man in babylon" - George S Clason  - "The intelligent Investor" - Benjamin Graham  - "The 4-Hour Work Week" - Tim Ferris  - "Stay Mad for Life: - Jim Cramer Not real estate related but they offered different perspectives in business and finances.  

Those will exhibit the opposite of an inclined business cycle.I believe that an Investor can intelligently determine whether then business cycle will be inclined, declined or just horizontal by understanding what happens to their particlar neighborhood during the down cyle part of the business cycle.For instance, in the downturn, it is normal for Cities to lose money, and therefore cut services.

A tool used properly (intelligent investor debt) will improve your situation.

Paying down a mortgage is creating artificial cash flow and is not "investing".

Homeowners (families) are more intelligent & consider things that most investors ignore because they are only interested in what's best for their family.

While I'm not currently looking to settle down, I enjoy traveling to #1 enjoy other cities, #2 scope real estate, #3 enjoy said cities with intelligent female company on short notice without the typical dating hoops to jump through just to be able to have true quality time with a great lady.

I’m very happy that you have chosen to invest the money intelligently, so make sure you take the time when making the right purchase.
