Too bad, it was quite a rats nest.

Is there any other ways to find deals cheap enough for me to get into to build up an investment nest egg?

I don't have a huge nest egg, but am realistic and expect that it will take a while before I can fully support myself with this new business venture.Also, if anyone in the jax area would be willing to let me shadow them or let me observe a rehab process in action or simply mentor/advise me, I would be more than happy to repay the services somehow.

Try to buy at least one property that will be completely paid off by the time your little one graduates from high school as a college cost nest egg.

Heard of a few in Nest, ZeneHome, Porch, Zillow but am curious to learn what else is out there/what others are using for their homes?

My mother instilled great things into me, business and saving were the most important and I'm so incredibly great full so I have a solid nest egg that Iv built and saved.

Of course make sure that your W-2 income will be enough to sustain after the purchase, you have a 6 month nest egg, etc.You will have no problem finding a decent paying job once you finish your MBA.

Interesting... like the nest for locks..

Great comments,  I apologize in advance but this definitely struck a chord with me.. so here it goes....We see so many "Investors" come to us after they have smacked on the hornets nest and have violated laws and peoples rights and the wall is about to crumble on top of them.
