I just try to play whatever niche of the real estate market is trending, ride the wave, and move on to the next trend.

I have my eyes on downtown also, but I think timing the wave is essential.

The coating they put on our porch's metal roof also seemed thin (can easily see waves in the coating and see through it).Thank you in advance!

I always figured it will be the next wave for hungry attorneys.

If you aren't comfortable waving the inspection I'd at least keep it to the lowest number of days possible.

If you can catch the cycle and ride the wave, you can make a boat load of money doing apartment repositioning.

I can now either ride out the wave or pay of the loan and lower rent to 850?

mainly due to property values - there's tons of shorts on the market currently and a whole new wave of REOs waiting to hit.

You never know which way the waves will take you, so just keep plugging along!

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?
