Will see if this is correct.. but want to be more conservative after living through 08 and losing a friggen fortune that I had worked 30 years for..

No two half hour or hour long advisory consultations with professionals have been the same (Anderson, Fortune Builders, M2, Royal, Note Assistance Program, Robert Hall Tax Advisors, EquityTrust, note funds, nite crowdfunding and individual note mentor/investors).Just a quick and dirty adding of the costs I've been told about but not spent so far would use about $13,000 of my $22,000 note investment stake before I even pop urchade a note. 

For my first rehab/ buy and hold property, I was fortunate to have a mentor/friend of a friend investor do a walkthrough with me to help me create a quick estimate of repairs and scope of work as well as refer me to trusted contractors. 

Hi JoshuaYou are in the fortunate position of having found some good deals.  

Fortunately, I've managed to hook up with a great group of fellow BPers here, and I'm happy to say Seoul has an amazing REI group as well.Try getting in touch with @Daniel Ryu.

Read everything by Templeton as he bought the cheapest 100 stocks during the great depression which is one of the ways he started his fortune.)

I have listing experience, Sales for Residentials, Commercial & Apartment Leasing experience, I've studied many Real Property Laws back then but obviously they change each year, Fortunately I still remember much of them til today and ready to apply them to make money in the market for my retirement & other reasons.

I want to be right there with them through it all.I've been fortunate to meet several people over the last few years that have experience in rental property.

Fortunately, I am hopeful I can change this bleak outlook through the course of 2016 and consider this sort of investment for the future (or as my wife would put it "this crazy idea you have...")As a father, I determined the most important obligation to my first son was to work hard and get my body into better shape, in order to better keep up with the little scamp.

I am a "victim" of one of the "guru" boot camps (fortune builders), it's a gift and a curse.
