Your basic needs are covered for the rest of your life and you don’t have any financial worries.

If not, remember there is an LIMG REI Club this Thursday, 24 Feb 07 at New Life at 7:00 pm.

Tell us more about what you are doing in your life as a real estate investor, or are you only working in the finance area?

Tell them the situation and make a proposal.The hand's on real life education would be worth more than you can imagine.

I have had two narcissist leaders in my life, they both exhibited almost all the textbook traits, and I can tell this guy is just like them.

I would invest in townhomes and single family homes only (for residential).Condos are tougher to rent out, the condo dues eat into the cash flow and and if you have a bad association it can make life miserable.However, if you do buy a condo make sure it is a 3 bedroom......never buy a 1 or 2 bedroom.

Also trying to find a balance between the new job, investing and my social life (the social life has been taking up a lot of time this summer; beach house with some friends)

I use text as a daily part of my life.

Assuming a long term hold and rent, and an "average" rental (not an executive or specialty property), you should take steps now to minimize headaches and expenses over the life of the property.

So why would I risk that just to make your life a little more convenient?
