When I started out, I ate up any experience I could. 

She ate about a hundred frozen healthy choice meals, placed the tray back in the box, and placed the box in the kitchen cabinets. she had tons of shipping boxes and appeared to be doing a lot of impulse shopping.

That's at E. 55th and Payne, right? 

The vast majority of them have no idea what a good investment looks like, have never analyzed a rental property in their life, and they made costly mistakes that sometimes ate up several years of income.

I thought i was saving money (being a smart investor) by having a 5k deductible.... well i had a water damage loss in a rental and that extra 2500 out of my pocket ate up my income for that unit pretty fast!

Thank you everyone for being so kind and welcoming to the group and I so appreciate the advice on where to start as this can be overwhelming when you first join and especially when you ate new to real estate and the investing world.

Construction was closed down for two months due to a city mandate that ate up two months of my twelve-month loan with one of my HML.
