I'm wondering how much extra time I'll have to commit to real estate investing

I could give them the address then hope they would allow me to write the offers for them or ask for a commitment up front.What is the rule of thumb?

But you did ask to take the wind out of your sails, so that's why I mentioned someone already tried a similar purchase and it was denied, so make sure you do your homework with the loan officer before you commit to a purchase and it falls apart at the last minute.I truly do believe though that they will not see it as a primary residence if you are only in the ANG for one weekend a month, and the rest of your time is spent going to school .

And once you commit to it, I suspect it is challenging to export that data back to the desktop version.My bookkeeper is remote, so we manage it using dropbox.

I have a commitment letter that requires that the "range/oven and areas around the range/oven" be inspected by an electrician and proven to be in working order.The property is a short sale and has no electricity.

Also, does your wife want to commit her time to doing this?

So I am committed to being a regular contributor, while being a benefactor as well.I am originally from Fort Worth, TX.

Currently most of my money is committed to a flip that will take me 4 to 8 months so it may be awhile before I can buy.

Be persistent and stay committed to your goals and the world will be your oyster.

be aware you may have to upgrade/install electrical circuits and outlets.in the end, we decided 1) we couldn't financially commit right now, and 2) low-income area we might not have quality tenants who would respect the units.
