I gave the agents money for materials upfront and supplemented that when we decided spend more on flooring.

I wonder if it could be worth it for when I am away on vacation or as a supplemental property manager.

My end goal is to have as diverse of a portfolio as possible and possibly supplement the income of my current job.I have been reading about how fixing and flipping is a JOB.

INERPRETATION: This Addendum supplements the terms and conditions of the Lease.

One option is to keep them all and use the rent to supplement my pension. 

I will never buy a house again without putting a camera down the sewer lines of it first.I had just a generic home inspector come do the inspection.

I found that neighborhoodscout.com is pretty good at getting generic appreciation rates and they break it down in periods which helps show if the appreciation is consistent or a spurt 20 years ago or just recently.For CA and HI the rate has pretty much doubled within every decade for the last 5. 

Greetings all, I'm doing my first private money deal and need some advice.I've located an investor who is willing to do a generic promissory note so I can purchase an investment property.However, b/c the property I'm purchasing is a REO property, the bank requires proof of funds.

Your peer and mentor network, and RE literature options, should be an occasional supplement - not a crutch.

To begin with, I am not seeking cash flow to supplement my own cash flow, but to be reinvested towards future property purchases. 2) Long term I would really seek to own a fairly large portfolio of rental properties (Single and Multi-Family) that will initially replace what would be my wife's income and then potentially mine down the road.
