Hi all, I guess this fits here.

That being the case, I'm going to start by wholesaling.I've checked out the local REIAs and will attend a few before I join (I've heard horror stories about some, so I want to make sure they're clubs that fit my needs) and network as much as possible, build up a buyers' list while I'm looking for deals - I've probably looked at 65 houses and can pretty much tell you what homes go for in a particular area when I hear or see the address.Once I move, I can look at buying properties to rehab and/or hold.

Just be sure you use a large enough properly fitting screwdriver to turn it, so that you don't strip/break the head.

You study and learn and ask questions and learn more, and then you spend forever looking for the Perfect Deal, but nothing quite fits all the "rules" , or you spend too much time trying to make it "fit", and then the deal is Gone...Perhaps more succinctly, Overthinking.

Look at it like cutting diseased branches off of a tree: Serious cases may require aggressive pruning to save the core.Then focus your energy and resources on creating maximum value in the remaining properties that fit your big-picture investment goals.5.

I think you'll fit right in!

Do you own any properties that fit into the 2% rule specs?

Having a rental just fits in very well with my outlook at this point in my life.I just read through Mike's blog and it's an exciting look at the business of being a landlord.

I'm pretty sure this is not a "one size fits all" question.If there really was a lot of appreciation, it might be worthwhile to refi to get a no-PMI loan.Jon

Remember, if the mortgage doesn't fit you must evict!!!
