I would assume that most everyone here is at least familiar with Scott Trench's Set for Life, but if not, simply put it is broken into three different phases of achieving financial freedom.

I am always watching rents in the area though, frequently looking at trulia/padmapper/apartments.com/zumper/craigslist ads and snap a photo of every "for rent" sign I see to call up and find out.There is a lot more variation than simply how many bedrooms a place has and where in the city it is located in, property condition, layout, density, and the environment around it factors into the price a lot, and rentometer doesn't give you much insight into that.

I’d love work my own 90-day challenge in this market (if the right opportunity is there).I’ve been listening to podcasts, reading books, going to meet ups, and simply talking to people about real estate for a few months.

But still simply exchanging into a property with identical cash flow and all would net you more each month.The key of course is that you do it without triggering a recognition of gain.

Equity is not really investing or increasing cash flow it is simply a expensive way to buy cash flow and park cash you have no other use for.

Don’t register but simply call a broker with one of those firms who specializes in the product type you’re looking for and set up a brief meeting.

Do you know if they simply wrote a letter with the property/account info with their offer amount?

Those who really earn their commission do so through market knowledge, problem solving abilities, and negotiation skills - they can save a deal when things go south.As an investor, commissions are simply a cost of doing business.

As of now, I consider this a win and success.

I simply have been invited to come view it, since I had reached out to them with my marketing in the past.
