I have read the book the one minute millionaire (the enlighten way to wealth) and other books on real estate and I am so excited about starting.

Perhaps if those interested would search here on BP "written loan policy" that may enlighten them.

Well this was definitely enlightening, thanks @David Krulac and @Steve Babiak and everyone else for your insights.  

I'm interested in a similar development in CA and have searched the internet for this type of information, your journal as well as the conversation between everyone has got to be the most enlightening and straight-forward education I have found so far. 

Jeff S Na Thank You for the tools you have enlighten me with.

Is it possible if you can enlighten me on this method?

I'm curious , I've noticed several people mention how Sales Agents don't like working with investors , could someone enlighten me .

I am simply hoping that this posting would help enlighten us and of course help others in a similar process.

I decided to run a ad as usual for the duplex units on craigslist before purchase to gauge the demand and quality of tenants and it was enlightening to put it mildly.Every person that inquired about the duplex units either lacked the ability to speak proper English or hung up shortly after they realized it was a duplex instead of a single family home.I had it listed for 3 weeks while the bank sorted out title issues and basically my option was to rent it sec 8 or no tenant.I backed out due to the title delays, but honestly looking back I probably should have bought it and dropped the rate to $550 per month.
