Did not hit the home runs but we had consistency of deal flow and I much less work than chasing foreclosures.

I will return to school in a few weeks (I'm from Wilmington, Delaware), and will want to hit the ground running.What would be the first few things I should focus on?

This is our first rehab, and we are kind of looking at it as our practice rehab before buying a property to fix up and flip.After buying our first two rentals in 2010, some problems with extended family hit in 2011, and it wound up being a drawn out and expensive ordeal.

I hope you two hit the ground running.

The first month is usually complicated for them but this allows for my time to be used more efficiently and for them to not have to run to the bank to get cash out.I have 4 properties paying this way and it has been great.. well after the initial payment due to confusion but since then has been great.

A piece of crap house with a flat roof got hit harder than a cute bungalow because, hey, it's not as easy to sell and costs more to repair.

Lots of experienced REI's here that would be happy to help you, share what you know with others.Goal are great, so go out and hit them now.

But I think I'll survive.Those yellow letters should have arrived either today or by tomorrow, and my postcards will hit on Monday.

Your mindset directly impacts your goals... which might be why the 2 years of hitting walls.
