From what you have seen, what is the cost of entry for non-performing notes?  

Not in my entry level budget.

I will begin to look for full-time entry-level real estate analyst position opportunities on Wall Street.

Thanks Michael SC , NC always going to better then NY entry point alone.I am from NY originally but been here for 20 plus years.

I have them listed as a fork under my business entries, so that it is possible to run reports showing the total of all businesses or the real estate and small business separately.Another benefit to Gnucash is that it has small business functionality included, with the ability to generate invoices and checks, etc. 

Your entry price really dictates the particular areas open to you.

Denver's market has a much higher entry point and it would be hard to get something for 175k. 

This is due to the VERY attractive tax structure created by the Australian government, the availability of mainstream bank financing, and the low entry cost due to the low Australian dollar.  

Other towns like Hammond, Hobart, and Lake Station are ready rental areas because of a low entry cost but still high rents.

Control the property with a contract that includes right of assignment, right of entry, right to market, and an escape clause.
