Those who bought in 2010-2012 are now sitting on some great gains as prices have bounced back and then some in many markets.

Would love to connect if your looking to bounce around ideas.

Don't miss that initial bounce when it comes on the market, list it right.When reading a listing, don't miss the following, DOM (days on the market) this will give you a hint of potential motivation of the seller, look at how many times the price has changed (more motivation) always read the remarks, they will give you an indication of seller's motivation, look for key words; seller anxious, needs some work, owner financing, sold in as is condition, will consider buy like rent, option, agent bonus, low down payment....etc.Real estate is a wonderful business, investing working with clients, marketing and making deals......... in my opinion being in real estate is a lot better than working for a living.Charles Parrish

I've got neighbors who bought their town house with the intention of renting the basement out for extra income.My experience with the roommate situation was to learn how to deal with bounced checks, calling references (yes, I do call), dealing with inquires from people who apparently don't know how to read and figuring out what the market rate was in my neighborhood was, because it kept changing.If you decide to start with having a roommate/boarder never, ever, ever, ever, ever (times infinity) rent to someone sight unseen.

I am looking for someone I can ask questions and bounce ideas off.

Message me, would love to chat and bounce off ideas!

I stumbled into an idea and wanted to bounce it off the community.  

However, when all said and done, my credit score never bounced back up.

If you'd like to bounce questions off me I am happy to help where I can!

Those of us that are new can bounce some ideas and thoughts/strategies off of each other.
