I har a steady job and have picked up a second.

However, I was trolling around HAR, Trulia and Zillow to get an idea of what's out there.

You don't learn, harness creativity, gain skills, and meet great people with $6,000 going into a Roth, but you do in REI.IMO, Roth is a great "high" interest bank account.

After running my numbers, I'll be hovering just over the break-even point but will own the house in 6 yrs which then I should be able to pull about $30K after refinancing.

Look what’s on HAR and loopnet.

Note that it is tougher getting deals through Mls and har because people are more so lookin to sell at market or they move quick so u have to move quickly if there is something u like.

I am listening to "Crowdsourcing" now which is an interesting audio CD on how companies are harnessing the power of thousands of people at a time who do not work directly for them.

Can anyone suggest a great source for finding multi-family properties for sale in the Houston Texas area besides HAR?

Purchased a few years back, rehabbed, rented for a year or so, hoping to have it sold in the next few weeks. they're building a city dump a few blocks away and i want to unload it before i have to deal with it.i'll tell you what i did. figure out how to find the auctions in houston https://dailycourtreview.com/ ($20 a year or $2 in quarters in newspaper machine in front of where they have the auctions)Also, the websites of delinquent tax attorneys Linebarger Goggan Blair and Sampson, at http://www.lgbs.com, or Perdue Brandon Fielder Collins & Mott, atwww.pbfcm.com, contain lists of the properties set for tax sale by the taxing units they represent.searched for houses near my current place research them (google/zillow/trulia/redfin/realter/har).comdrive by the houses analyse what you're willing to spend on itfind one or more that you're willing to invest indo a foreclosure title search a few days before the auctiona few days before to make sure it wasn't removed from the auction block, thus wasting a few hundred dollars.also to make sure there a no outstanding liens on the property that could cost you moreregister for the auctiontake a big wad of cash that you've been saving for years and get small cashiers checks 1k/5k/10k/etc to the auction and watch the other biddersthen bid..The property i got was starting at 30K... someone bid 30k, someone else bid $30,100, then i walked behind them and said $35k. maybe i scared them off by bidding 5k more, maybe they didn't want the property anyway.some of these bidders for $5 at a time trying to maximize their returns. i was new, and i'm 6'4", so maybe intimidating?

The worse the area, the more time it will take to manage.3. all the usual (zillow, redfin), Har is the best for houston and the listings show up there first.
