I would get a job, save up a few grand, and buy some super run down home that you can get a rural loan on (0% down).

For such a small investment, these seem so ideal.And yet I see 8 of these types of homes on the market right now varying between 15 days and 6 months on the market, which is super unusual around here.

Super frustrating..Thanks for the great input!

Poor regulatory cuts will super-charge the bubble and it will pop hard, just further down the road.

If it was super easy, I guess everyone would be doing it!

It's not easy, and  poverty scares the crap out of super wealthy investors!   

The seller left alot of antique furniture, family pictures, China bowls and cups, and just alot of stuff.Alot of it is just trash but at the same time alot of it has value.

then I as a new Realtor would appreciate even a simple testimonial/shout out via social media (like a picture of us seeing the house together and a blurb along the lines of: I just met Connie, a Realtor in _______ and she was so knowledgable about the area, responsive and super-helpful!

Of course, handwritten letters are super time consuming but if you keep your pen/marker and paper handy, you'd be surprised how many you get done during your downtime.Best of luck to you!

My husband took a trip out to the unit last night but no one was home.We'll be using his extra money to hire a lawyer to help us out if he isn't out of the apartment March 1.Nevertheless, I'm super impatient and dying to know what to expect.
