I'm interested in turn key properties and not fixer uppers (painting and carpet is fine, and minor repairs I can deal with) no major fixes though.My goal would be to acquire control of properties and rent these properties and produce an income after my expenses.This would be the price area:$50,000 per home single fam. residential 2-3 Bed bungalo, rent for $700-850/month.

I'd say 90% or more of it ever sold is sitting under someone's bed, or in their closet, and eventually will end up on ebay or craigslist!

My last attempt to invest out of state in a rehab found me in bed with someone that took my money and ran.

Care to tell us a bit more about yourself before you ask us to jump into bed with you?

As I write this I'm listening to an interview with her, you can find it here: http://www.thestorybehindthesecret.com/step3.htmlThe Secret came about from 'The Science of Getting Rich' written by Wallace D Wattles in 1903 a few years before his death.

We are going to tear the roof off this motha, LOL, Seriously, we are going to raise the roof, add more space, a master bed and bath, attached garage...

The idea of just waking up going to work all day, then back home to rush and get to bed to do it all over again the next day, was just not working for me.

A good friend of mine once told me "Late to bed, early to rise, work like hell and advertise".

well with an annual household income of about 90k. buying a home in the bay area just doesnt seem realistic to me.the home i live in now is a 3 bed room 2 bath 35 year old home on a 5500sq ft lot that would go for around 650k. i figure that is about a 4600$ morgage. even with 10% down!

I definitely don't want to fall in love with a property, that would be the kiss of death.
