LOLAccount Closed  - open invite to the Baltimore Washington Meetup (2nd Weds of every month)  http://www.meetup.com/bwimeetup. 

Hey Shawn.I'd like to throw my hat in the ring.

To fill you in a bit more, my fiancee graduates in May 2016 and we are getting married a week later, so extra capital is "invested" in our wedding vendors at the moment.  

I am also getting married next month, so I've been needing more time for wedding planning as well.We're trying to find a personal residence for ourselves when we're married.  

What I'm going to do, just out of curiosity, is call her back Wed. and see if there really were 5 offers made.

My ears are still ringing... hahaCongratulations on getting your real estate license!

Worst case you ring up a few extra bucks on the trustee services and 

My husband and I are from Nebraska, we will be in Los Angeles on May 18-20 (Mon - Wed).  

Such a LIVELY discuss what investor can resist tossing his hat in this ring...For many of the reasons already stated I would add that when you survey locally and nationally the REAL real estate investors (people who actually own & invest in it daily versus those who simply talk about or teach it) it is those who have a portfolio of rentals property of some sorts that have withstood the test of time.Obviously all markets aren't suited for the buy and hold strategy but with the ease of investing in other markets and countries now, you can't soundly refute the strategy.

Thanks @Bryan K. closing is set for Wed with another assignment!
