I'm a single mom of two, so doing things right the first time is uber important to me as I can't afford to lose because of errors.My goal is to work my full time job for one more full year and then to work real estate investing full time.

I have 2 properties in Portugal and I dont get the most of them and sometimes I lose money because I am not there.

Procrastination causes you to lose the determination.

The day we evicted with the crew she had a ton of crap upstairs almost wall to wall.So on the low side you could spend 150 to 200 for filing, writ, and eviction crew but also by waiting until the day Marshall throws them out you could lose one to two months rent.

This way, when a storm hits, you may lose a day or two on the interior if people can't get around, but you want lose a week or two because there's snow on the roof or it's too cold to paint the siding.

Just make sure the total cash flow increases after investing the refinanced money.Property 1 was cashflowing +250, after refinancing starts losing 50 a month, if the new property cash flows +500, your new total cash flow is now +400, almost double than before, I would do this any time.Also, its preferable that you buy properties that cash flow or at least break even with 100% financing, that is now one of my parameters on my investments, it forces you to be patient and wait for the best deal possible, it makes the investment safer even if something goes wrong.

It's playing the lotto or musical chairs where if you do not have the chair to sit on you lose everything.The more middle income areas where returns increase you have to work harder to get tenants to pay the rent.

The market is strong, good job outlook, and sound economy.My concern is that with so many other units in the complex that I lose control of the condition and pricing on those competing units.

I also own a condo that I lose $200 a month renting and still owe 10k more than current comp sales.I'm considering quickly getting my real estate liscense for the education, access to homes and solve the unemployment issue.Any tips and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

They take what they feel are comps and sort of average the price after adjusting for differences, then add a factor for excess or less Sq footage.So if 6 close comps sold for an average of $100K and averaged 1500 sq ft, all else equal, they would start at 100K then if the subject property was say 1650 ft they would add like $20-25 per foot for the additional 150 ft.
