Rome wasn't build in a day. be patient, make a plan and work your plan.So I knew I was finally ready to jump into the big deep pool of real-estate and it was time.

I am in your same boat (deep in the learning process) and BP is a GREAT wealth of knowledge.  

Sadly, you'll realize after you get one, two, three, 1000 properties everyone will start praising you and holding you up, telling you that "thy always knew you could do it", but you'll know deep down inside that you kick *** and you had the guts to do it.

It's always great to have such a deep community to rely on when it comes to real estate.

@Justin Cabral  if you can read between the lines of @Paul Birkett post.. you will get it.the pod cast is total hyperbole.. even though I did not listen to it.. ( but anyone insinuating that NPN is some easy high return venture for those with no experience  well I will let you figure that out.)If you have a deep understanding of RE .. have worked in it for years ( my self a HML for 40 years) understand everything there is about lending money and retrieving your bad loan.. that's one thing.But what we see now is a bunch of pod cast and other things glamorizing this.. the notes that a newbie one off investor will end up with is the crap.. you need to @Dion DePaoli read all of his posts about the subject ... then decide...

The market is so stable that in the last recession we saw maybe 6% drops when other markets took deep dives.

Additionally, there is an unpermitted small storage addition for lawn mowers and stuff on the side of the home (approx 5ft wide by 2feet deep) that was built using identical materials of the property so it blends in and looks of professional quality.

Or if you buy a distressed property at a deep discount and improve it, you can sometimes refi after 6-12 months if you search for a lender, but you'll only be able to get 75%-80% of the value back out, so beware.

It's a 3 bed, 1 bath, basement, brick ranch, 2 car garage, with a deep 200 feet lot.I'll probably raise it again $50 in 12 months to $1100. 

I always suggest that before you figure out the "how" and "when" and "what" you dig really deep and determine your "why".
