Another option is to do a deal in that much time, striving to double or triple your money.

This is the equivalent of a "triple play" in money management.Out #1:  The One time Debt is no more Out #2:  The monthly payment on that debt is gone foreverOut #3:  The cash you were using to pay the monthly debt on Out #1 (see Out #2), can be used to cover the next monthly bill on the list of monthly bills...thus, the "triple play".Second, if you invested that money in something that had cash flow, that cash flow now pays a monthly bill as well.My "Order of Appearance/Use of Funds" are as follow:1 - Pay of ALL of my Triple Play Debt (this doesn't mean rental property mortgages...that's good debt)2 - Flip my "cash" (re-use it...don't ever spend it), for profits to use to pay off the rest of my debt &...3 - Invest in Passive Income Properties to make your monthly paymentsIf that is your OoO, you'll be amazed just how fast you can get to the end.

I'm being very careful with this subject because I don't want to be double or triple taxed and get in trouble with both the US and Canadian Tax Man.I really appreciate your info though.

If I were you, I would make triple~sure that you can make a great income (to dump into RE investing), in what you want to study and have as a career.Don't get me wrong, I am sure that 15th Century History, getting a Degree in Bohemian Studies, and maybe Underwater Basketweaving are pretty awesome, but will it make you money?

Want to build out attic which would triple value of the house2.

Triple check your numbers and you will do great. 

After repairs, I tripled the value of the home and have great renters.Network, network, network!

Now, the seller's agent is simply not returning any correspondence, leaving me little option.Per the CAR contract - it's pretty cut-and-dry about pursuing small claims court, and without good faith reasons -they can be liable for treble (triple) damages as well as legal fees incurred on my end.It's not a huge sum of money, but given that it's mine, and that the seller will be liable for legal fees associated - I'd like to talk to a lawyer to make sure I'm proceeding correctly.

The campus has tripled in size since I graduated in HS.

So you have to do triple the sales to make the same commission plus enjoy numbers and in residential shooting a bunch of low ball offers out to sellers.I work with investors but on the commercial real estate side with multi million dollar properties so it is way different than the residential space.Once you have defined your own investing goals and know you want to work with investors then start down that path.
