@Robert Guilfoyle smart neighborhoods!

Colin Alsheimer You are definitely doing it the smart way.

After talking to him, he told me a few things:Real estate investing was the worst idea he's ever had.There's no money in it.It's a good idea to hold a home after 12 months because the taxes are lower (even though he finished the rehab in 6 months)If I'm smart enough to think about real estate, I should be smart enough to come up with something else that's going to make some "real money"Needless to say, I'm contacting other investors.

I'm Very Smart I Just Made A Few Dumb Decisions In The Pass And Now I Wanna Make Up For It By Showing My Family I Can Do Better.

I'm Morne Smart; I live in Singapore. 

IMHO, too many people are scared away by LH properties without having the basic knowledge with which to make a smart analysis.

If you buy smart, you will survive the ups and downs that occur.

This is one reason why it is smart to buy small multifamily early, if you plan on getting into them at all. 

I'm beginning to see that a smart/experienced investors do not hold large portions of portfolio for too long.
