Wow, great thoughts folks!

Hopefully this "bump" will get more folks in here :)Rock on! 

I recently connected with a DMV/Baltimore wholesaler, hired a real estate agent on elance.com for MLS listings, and contacted a few folks via craigslist.

Hey folks,I'm Bruce Green, me and my wife Sara have decided to use Real Estate investing to supplement our retirement income.

Who the heck rents a random shed in some other guys yard... sketchy folks do.

A lot of good advice from the folks above.As with everyone else I am in agreement the Reserve Funds, Special Assessments, and mismanagement of association funds is the biggest financial risks.Next is the additional fees, app fees, move in/out fees, access card fees, background check fees, pet fees. 

I'll add Dolan to my list of folks to call tomorrow. 

The snowbirds will be returning later this year so you will have a chance to sell to these folks when they get in. 

well then thats it as soon as its executed (signed by both parties) the property is sold. since you are in nevada, why don't you call the folks taht give licenses to brokers and ask them the same question i asked the folks in ohio. i would love to know what they say since i buy anywhere in the country.

Also...I'm curious to see what other folks out on BPare doing as far as a real estate financial plan for the next 3 months, 6 months, year, etc...
