Even if you don't get the money now, you're at least planting seeds and they may come around deal #3, and #4. 3.

Should we focus on rapidly growing our cash, or "seed" as I call it, and try to do wholesale deals and fix-and-flips and grow our seed to a much larger amount before buying rentals, or should we invest all of our "seed" now and buy and hold rental property and focus on cash flow and appreciation on that house?

We plan to buy at least one rental property in 2015, so I've been living on this site - soaking up all the knowledge I can!

I’ve been hanging around a realtor the past couple of days just trying to soak up as much knowledge as possible.

Thanks for the welcome...It definitely seems like everyone is more than happy to assist...I plan on soaking up as much knowledge as I can.

**Let me just put this seed in everyone’s mind that’s thinking the above: In the 2008 debacle, The real estate crash mainly happened because people were being approved for loans on homes they couldn’t afford at the current prices then.

I hand-wash most of my stuff that just needs soaking. 

We contributed the same in seed money as my friends In that deal.Swanny

I would love to meet up with other local investors and gain any knowledge that people have soaked up through their experiences. 

I found this forum a couple months ago and have been soaking up as much knowledge as possible since then.
