it pisses off the tenant and they moveTechnology is at your fingertips to do some or all of the management piece if you want to work that hard.

So after a good search, I've stumbled upon what seems to be a decent deal, but I wanted to get some more eyes and opinions as I've only done one deal and I have all of BiggerPockets at my fingertips with this post!

You already know you're making a great choice to start real estate investing, so just jump on here and use all of the resources at your fingertips.

The internet puts at people's finger tips information that was once held in monopoly, i.e. the MLS.

There are real estate leads everywhere - you just need to become pro-active and forget about passive marketing.Be prepared - have at your finger tips - an approved skinny contract of sale (be ready to do business all the time)Understand contract terms - delayed settlement - hybrid offers - subject to clauses - discount language, assignment terms - one simple contingency - money back clauses - full disclosures -The fastest way to find sellers and equity profits - Craig's List - active listings - expired listings - talk to everyone - go in to businesses to ask if anyone knows of real estate for sale - FSBO's - drive neighborhoods - look for vacant houses - ugly buildings - find the owners - make offers -----just to mention a few techniques that I have been using and teaching successfully.If you take time to use the 50 house rule - you can become knowledgeable of the market and values - very simple --  start to look at houses without making offers  - after you look at many houses in one area (listed - expired - FSBO's) you will become aware of values - keep a journal of the Sq.

Once you build a track record with these lenders your life will become easier and the more capital you have at your fingertips the more deals you can do. it can snowball.

I guess my question for the forums is should I buy a House and let the equity start to build in small house or just rent and watch $28,800 run right through my fingertips to a landlord? 

If it was, please click on the VOTE button, so I know I am not just doing this to exercise my fingertips.:). 

But, I'd hate to see a few of these deals fall through my finger tips merely because I was not looking for more creative financing. 

I keep track of all my invoices, receipts, and upcoming payments with their services and can't imagine doing it any other way--it's so convenient as the apps are right at your fingertips.
