I'm practically a bleeding heart liberal and even I don't use the phrase "ruling class".How I would love some of that same data analyzed and written about by someone who could reign it in a little and stick to the facts.

I think a smart guy at 19 needs to stick it out until he figures it out.

Stick to Fannie Mae guidelines.I realize there is a myth about selling at a higher price than a property was purchased for within 90 days.Fannie underwriting guidelines clearly state, and may be to difficult for some loan originators to get off their duff and read them, but the limitations are 10% contractors fee (15%?

one of our rentals has WD hook ups in garage and we had no issues renting it out.Will you be refinancing to leverage  it or do you stick with the free and clear?

Stick to the proven, accepted, customary inventory approach banded in smaller price ranges by area.

I've stick built entire homes with my own two hands before, I don't see the point anymore when I can get just as good for a good price and without breaking too much of a sweat.

The original tape came off the edges of the ceiling when we removed the old drywall so we won't need to sand it, but my husband said if it hadn't done that, we'd need to sand it down so the tape would stick to it and not be too thick.So, in short, I'd sand down the adjacent walls so the tape will stick and not be too thick, and then butt the new drywall up to the ceiling so the popcorn isn't disturbed.

That would put you investing in places like Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Houston, Phoenix, Salt Lake City maybe Austin and Raleigh just to name a few.They are all some of the fastest growing cities and have the strongest job growth (yes, even Phoenix which has the fastest growing financial job growth in the country over the last few years).You should be able to achieve both of your goals - cash flow  and ability to resale easily with some appreciation - in any city if you stick to the top-end properties, put 20% down and make sure you achieve a minimum of 1%+ rent ratio.Still, I think you need to talk to other investors who are thinking like you are.  

I stick with hands-off real estate investments so there is no frustration to try to get me down :) Add that to working whenever I want from home in my PJs, and there's my motivation.

I would personally stick to parks that have a high occupancy.
