Now depending on what it is you want to do you can start while you're active to make the transition a little smoother; spend the next 3-4 years acquiring a few rentals that can pay you when you get out and start the clock for you to use the income for loans qualification (requires 2 years LL experience).So I would say long term financially your best bet will be to get out; (big caveat here) assuming you are prepared in those other ways I mentioned.

Heck, start download podcast #1 and I bet you that by the time you reach #80 you can turn around and teach the guru yourself.  

Would the smart bet be to follow your realtor's lead on the starting bid?

The house looks nice, so I bet that it is related to the time of year. - Agree with Postlets...hope you have already done that by now, given how it is free.- Hope that sign is out already.

Trust me, I have not been doing this a really long time, but you can always bet your repairs are always going to be way more than you project.

Your best bet is to find local banks with only a few branches.

I'm excited to get out of the rat race and start building that asset column!

Plugins would be your best bet here, like others above mentioned you can use a plugin from your email service provider to get it tied in.

While I'd love to buy more property instead, the notes are a safer bet and a better hedge against dropping rents or home values.

I think SF in houston is a safER bet right now for a long term hold then MF right now.
