For me, I think of it like playing Monopoly sort of, in that I would one day like to stand back and observe all that I have built and accomplished and the opportunity I can give others.How I ended up here:I discovered Bigger Pockets after searching for podcasts on investing in general.

Right now is not a seller's market anyway so I think renting it out and observing the cash flow for the first several months is a good strategy. 

These are just my observations.

Here are my observations: in mn, once school starts, people don't want to move.

hello, family I'm new to real estate investing looking to get started but I would love to be able to have a mentor and just observe him or her.

Would love to hear any observations you have of the current/future market. 

One thing I did was to attend just to observe the process.

Employee versus contractor is a complicated topic and must be observed very carefully.

That number was not based on any itemized budgeting of any sort, just a general observation that in our portfolio, higher rents mean more sqft and usually more bathrooms.Although I'd like to sit down and itemize, each property has its own unique things to it and I feel like I'd be more-or-less guessing anyways.  

In allot of places what I am observing is the the real estate market is on a come back.
