Also, I would say the next most important thing to consider when it comes to passive investing is WHO you're actually making a bet on.

Hi,I thought that a good first post would be an introduction and saying hi to everyone out there.I live in the San Francisco bay area, working in the tech industry with a strong desire of doing something that produces some more cash than what my bank savings account does (almost negative).Came in here with the desire to learn more about REI after reading Brandon Turner's "The Book on Investing In Real Estate with No (and Low) Money Down" book, which I read after reading Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad, Poor Dad".

Additionally, changing a poor flow or layout to a better flow or better layout will also have tremendous ROI benefits.In your specific circumstance, we all would need to know your current market conditions, your subject property details, and what the competition has to answer such a question.

@Nick Stango  I bet unless there is an agent involved most wholesalers don't even know the laws much less care.. and of course they are just selling a contract so they are not the seller but it they come into title that's another issue.. but like I said law does not necessarily follow along with the entire wholesaling segment its a little bit of wild west really.

Greg is the author of Think and Grow Rich: Three Feet from Gold (co-authored by Sharon Lechter from Rich Dad, Poor Dad), and Mark is a New Jersey native who is a master hypnotist and a very seasoned real estate investor investing today.Regardless, Noteworthy has always been an amazing place to network and meet like minded investors just like Bob and Kevin.  

There is a difference between being poor and being broke.

As with many of you here, Rich Dad, Poor Dad opened my eyes to the way rich people think.
