I'm thinking that acquiring and managing our first few rentals (building experience and cash flow) will serve as an additional asset for the second wave of acquisitions (that may require more creative financing).I am committed to getting involved on the forums and asking some of the questions that keep me up at night, so here's the first one:Is there any benefit to us NOT being married when we start buying?

Once I waved the white flag and canceled the PA, the property goes up and sells for 20k over list price and the original offer I had accepted...You win some you lose some.

I keep hearing that there's going to be one more wave of foreclosures.

Potentially you could consolidate all the 2 families into a larger complexYou'll find yourself with a wave of money coming at you and equity sitting in all of these places.

I'm moving to cash to take advantage of 2nd wave.

If it is a good deal and there is a good profit available, tie it up, learn how to control property even if it is with a $10 option, take a shot, earn from good deals, don't wave goodby to them.

It was titled "Foreclosure wave signals strengthening U.S. housing market."

Obviously banks won’t release inventory in waves, which would stagnant the rising prices of real estate.

The sub-prime fiasco continues to affect the market and we are on the brink of a wave of foreclosures, which will only exacerbate the supply problem.

As I look around the current REI landscape I see a ton of "gurus", "new concepts", "can't miss systems" and "the new wave of the industry" sales pitches, not to mention wall-to-wall informercials.I'm fairly new to REI, but I'm making aggressive offers on solid properties, I have more than sufficient funds set aside for down payments, and my credit is good.
