Hey All,I am dead set on making real estate investing my future.  

Paying down a rental and leaving equity sitting dead is a extremely conservative investment strategy and actually reduces cash flow on a property rather than increasing it due to the high value of cash.

I'm ready to get smarter about this new venture with hopefully not falling into the 20 Deadly Mistakes!

Right now my list only exists in excel form, and I haven't found an effective way to rid it of dead leads (i.e. recently sold)2) Where do you find the best pricing on envelopes?

I was dead set on purchasing a rental for my first property using the FHA 203k on a foreclosed home, but I am realizing now that personally, flipping a home would probably make more sense since I am not sure if I want to stay in upstate ny or move to a more tax friendly state.

I'm Assuming 3-6% is the average but i could be dead wrong.

The seller however was not very happy with my offer, so I believe this particular deal is dead.

I'm sure other landlord are having to do same.. it keeps tenants aware they have to license and keep cars operable, nothing makes a property look worse than a dead beat car.2.

Its very near the end of a dead end street.

I know a lot of people have battery operated hand tools, but I can't tell you how many times (it's a lot) my on-site guys ask 'can I plug in... my battery is dead.'
