To twist Will Rodgers advice on buying stocks, “Don't gamble; take all your savings and buy some good real estate and hold it till it goes up, then sell it.

I don't see why I couldn't rent out a residential property as an investment, but the law can be pretty twisted and illogical.The alternative -- a land contract -- would require a larger down payment because taking it back would be about a 5 month process (streamlined a bit by the property being unoccupied, because at least it wouldn't involve an eviction) -- and much more complicated if I do it myself, or expensive (~$400-$500) if I hire an attorney.The main thing is to make it stand out among the thousands of similar properties glutting the market and catch a rehabber's eye ...I'm also looking into contractors who might finance someone like me.
