Find some source of consistent income, or at least plan on it.

This site is an almost endless source of info.

As @David Semer said, the community is such a great source from the webinars, blogs, and podcasts to every BP individual and their help.

I just filter for it on List Source.

So far I have a list (500) of absentee owners I purchased from list source, and a list of 80+ homes that I got from driving for dollars.

I am in my first year of investing, with seven doors in the metro Atlanta region.Though I don't have any specific advice for investing in your market, I can tall you that I have learned more from the BP Podcast than from any other source.

From most other sources I have come across, swapping the 2% return you might currently be getting for your $71k for a return of $8.06%, when all you have to do is be responsible for a mortgage of $249k for an asset that SHOULD be worth $320k - is not something most investors would recommend.

(My mistake) Revisit passions as interchangable sources of inspiration.

If it helps, I've been in my current job 3 1/2 years (and hate it), earn about 43k per year, I pay $900 monthly rent now and don't think I can afford to pay more than that without other source of income, also loan would be only myself and my credit is in the 690's.My priority now is quitting my 9-5 job, but this end of lease is making me question what is the right next step for me.Any advise, comments and guidance is greatly appreciated!!

Do you know where you are going to source your private money from?
