That'll give you some "soft" landlord experience, and hopefully enough equity by the time you graduate to hit it full bore.If college isn't for you, look into a real estate license.

I used to be soft but the last one cost $3,000 in lost rent plus the mortgages.

It is great to be able to Control and Roll, assign- flip or recycle without the use of conventional financing - don't you hate asking for money from lenders (hard or soft)?

The area around Sidney could be interesting depending on what Bass Pro does with the Cabela's facility.  

But there’s no such thing as soft/hard.

(Thanks to the $1350 45 audio CDs and 3 workbooks of the Ron LeGrand Cashflow System) At that time I had been a cars sales person for all of two years and my primary obstacle was my presentation; at the age of twenty I looked sixteen, and I was still deficient of many soft skills needed to put the middle age homeowners that responded to my marketing at ease.In 2006 I moved to San Antonio, Texas where my I currently reside with my wife and two small children. 

I will be out to see the house this week (we had a nice little snow storm on Friday), and the 80K soft offer is contingent on the walking the house.  

It's more dealing with mixing soft skills (people management) with hard skills (deal/ financial management) right now while moving through the negotiation process considering I'm a newbie at apartment investing.

But (this is my big soft spot) I also love animals and want them to have good homes.
