As if he is using the property for storage!!!!

put it on storage?

So the main question is "what would you do if you were in my shoes to get started on investing in real estate"?

I haven't looked into self-storage that much, but I do know that there's an industry magazine about it.http://www.insideselfstorage.com/Hope that helps

I assume what the previous post meant is that by buying from the previous owner with a deed in lieu, I could at least reap the benefits of owning the property (in the shoes of a homeowner) while waiting to close a deal of some kind with BOA.

If the want to split their fee and shine your shoes,, I doubt you have a 20% agent

Then there is stuff like this that comes out:http://xfinity.comcast.net/blogs/tv/2012/12/11/storage-wars-sued-fired-cast-member-calls-show-a-fraud/

I used to get them to agree to a lesser monthly 'storage fee.'

In fact, the lay out of the house was 2 small bedrooms on the top and the general living room/kitchen/bathroom/storage was underground.We marketed it as a 1 bedroom to allow the tenant to use the "1st" bedroom as a living room and the extra room downstairs as a storage room since it was next to the washer and dryer/storage, etc...Other than that, most of our properties have a "pittsburgh toilet" which consist of a single toilet in the basement with no type of coverage (unless a single stall was built).

Investors toss the words cash flow around a lot, unfortunately, it is like saying I have a pair of shoes.
