In Maryland, the task of finding the executor is as simple as going to an online paper (Daily Record) where you will find dozens of announcements regarding who has been named the executor of the estate.

The realtor had a online tour that showed everything perfect and beautiful.

Than is a high energy guy and he was a good one for a first time boot camper, but if you have been to them in the past, you can order his books online at ebay and get out of them nothing new and exciting.

I plan to do at least 20% down.The online mortgage companies like INGDirect do not touch investors.

This has always seemed like the safe way to do it but is it the smart way.Should I be using more bank money instead of my own by putting less down of my cash?

Just please don't feel like you have to spend thousands of dollars on some guru course to begin.haha yeah that what i was thinking of buying a "course" online that comes with like 12 audio cd for like 40 bucks i doubt i would ever pay anything over 1k on a RE course i rather read books , listen to tapes, and go on bigger pockets.

Is there any program online you would recommend for this?

For example, let's say that I focused my investing on areas that met the following criteria:- Taxes disproportionately low- Insurance rates below national average- Only new or fairly new homes- Had close contacts in the contractor business, who provided me great rates- Ensured all multi-unit properties were submetered- Had a brother-in-law who was an RE attorneyIf those accurately reflected my criteria and my situation, I think I could safely say that my OE would be less than the national average, regardless of how many houses I owned.The average is a wonderful thing to model against, but luckily not all of us (or the things we do) will trend towards it

This is amazing that it has been 3 years going from elementary school teacher to REI and I haven't joined an online community!
