I've been a casual observer of BiggerPockets for a while and am excited to get more involved!

From my observation it's difficult to find anything that'll cash flow.

Unless you really intended to do the rehab at the time you signed with the seller or unless you were honest about your intention of immediately selling their property for more than you told them it was worth, I'm not following you when you say my observation was wrong.

From personal observation, emotional support animals are treated exceedingly well by their people, and homes with a support animal tend to be MUCH better maintained than those without one. 

Not new to Real Estate, but I have been an absentee observer for the past 10 yrs.

It's my observation that an overwhelming majority of folks that are buying homes that are 700K+ are taking the equity this latest round of appreciation has afforded them to 'buy up'.

Many associations have observed insurance cost hikes of up to seven times the previous rates.

@Jim Farrell there's really not much more I can elaborate on with the problems that I observed with small multi's.

As unlicensed professional investors, we must observe strong ethical guidelines when dealing with the public, especially naïve or uneducated.

My hours are very flexible with the option to work from home, which will give me time to pursue my real estate goals.My goal with Real Estate is to accumulate enough cash flow from my rental portfolio so I can quit my job somewhere down the road to free up time so I can do something else with my life (ie. starting my own business).One of the reasons I choose real estate is because my parents purchased properties their entire lives and it has allowed them to free up their time and provide a nice semi-passive income currently owning 29 units in 5 buildings.Although I grew up observing my parents I have really just begun to get serious about real estate in the past few months.
