I can't wait until March either...BP Conf in Denver one weekend and the Final Four in New Orleans the next!

I would like to learn to learn how to do flips so that I can move to that when the market finally turns.

It was a strange acquisition process and this is how it went down.

I feel like I have finally saved up enough money to start venturing into it.I've started writing my business plan and looking into properties.

Spectacular final resting spot for active over 55 community.

My non-professional understanding of basis:Your basis is the purchase price, including acquisition costs (except any that may be deductible as expenses in the current year) plus the amount you spend on the property to put it into rent ready condition.

I finally had some extras cash laying around and needed to put it somewhere so I decided to pull the trigger and buy my first investment property.

It is finally gaining traction now!!!

After a few months of research and educating myself on wholesaling and the proper way to go about things I finally made my first offer.

I'd like to do this without the final buyer seeing how much I am making on the deal.
