My wife and I are going to Grand Canary in November and Hawaii in February, and we didn't even consider booking any of the places that don't have AC.

I am looking to get started investing in Real Estate in Grand Rapids, Mi.

In an ideal world, I've got a very low interest rate for 3-6 months (below 5% would be grand), or 0% interest until a certain date when there is a balloon payment or an interest rate higher than 0%.

We got 60,000 miles for each card for spending a few grand a month, and we pay our insurance on all our units with it and any other expenses that occur.  

However, if you identify the problem and make sure you're not repeating it you may find that a 3k loss in the grand scheme of things is a fairly cheap education.I think the best thing to do might be to dump as much information into the post as you can.

What are best cities to buy a rental property.I'm looking at Midland, Grand rapids, Ann arbor, Kalamazoo and Lansing.I have 2 buying criteria 1.

Pismo Beach, San Luis Obispo, Arroyo Grande area.

On a national front Grand Coast Capital. 

Since I can’t really invest on my own as of right now, I’ve just been saving money (about 5 grand from a summer job).

The upper unit would likely just have a few "must fix" items and paint some spots that need it, and we'd probably try to rent it for 925.We're thinking that we should be able to get a tenant fairly quick in the upper unit to at least have something coming in while we fix up the lower unit to get it looking nice.I'm guessing that we may go over all of the cash and loan amounts we have available and may need to put a few grand on a credit card in order to get the lower unit looking really nice.
