If you need help in available for info or joint ventures.   

Before we bought the house, our monthly expenses were $835 less in fixed costs, and we've spent a few thousand dollars between a couple of DIY projects (painting the siding, replacing the main level's flooring) and the tools needed to do those projects.

I've recently joined BP to use it as a resource as well as to network with other investors throughout the process since this new venture is new to me.

Some investors say property management is easy, etc.I would venture to guess the tenants you are talking about might be lower income and if they are it is like managing children almost and very intensive to get the rent and accomplish other things.

They're someone you know or someone you meet that is willing to invest their money in your venture.

I would venture to say that if ALL numbers are the same (cash flow, etc), then I'd opt for the $100k house.

I partnered up with a co-worker and somewhat recently ventured into the flipping arena.

If you don't have a background in risk management, I wouldn't venture into private lending.

I'll have 5 days a week where I'm not going to school and am looking at this venture as supplemental income just as my current RE holdings are.  

Anyway, just wondering how your venture is going so far?
