I also really enjoyed the purchase and remodel process of my own home in Seattle, and look forward to doing it again here in Los Angeles.I'm currently studying for my agent's license and came across BP when my curiosity about wholesaling, REITs, and MFR ownership got the best of me.In all the years that I've watched reality shows about flipping houses and selling multi-million dollar listings, I've always enjoyed the thrill of the wins and losses, but having met so many people that believe it's that "easy", I wasn't sure if I was on the right planet.

Enjoy =)

Keep the place in good shape, stay there awhile and if you're in a good location you'll likely enjoy some appreciation and future increased rents.

John's and work at Braker / Mopac.I'd enjoy meeting for coffee sometime and learning more about your background.

Sure, most of us enjoy our work, but I'm not going to push myself to make gobs of money.

Also there is by our very own @Brandon Turner , do make sure you change the viewing settings to 720p so you can enjoy all that his beard has to offer.Also, search the forums.

But for me its okay cash flow and one hell of an appreciation play and a great way to leverage an amazing loan at the only time I really could.Okay, so this is super long winded and more of me talking about myself which isn't a thing I enjoy doing BUT its an example of not just reviewing formulas.

Thanks for being one of the many dedicated individuals who served this country.I'll wait for the locals to chime in on your area (I'm not) but read up here, listen to podcasts and enjoy the information overload!
