I prefer the low end homesas I can usualy flip these to investors pretty fast.Lisa :lol:

They often prefer brown and gray everything, with a big garage, a shed, a sprinkler system and a privacy fenced back yard for barbeques and lounging in private.

First lien notes secured by real property are usually preferred by most investors.

Truly the choice is yours, if you give up because of the lack of funds you will simply never fulfil your dream!

If I had my choice between buying a home with 5% or 10% down, and doing a 100%, I would always chose the 100% financing because that allows me to keep my 5% or 10% and continue earning interest off of that 5% or 10%.

Retirement is having the freedom/choice/opportunity to partake in the pastimes you desire to, whenever you desire to, for as long as you desire to.

., etc.2 choices: Find another agent that isn't the idiot you dislike, or you wouldn't care it's with an agent.or:Get licensed, hang your license somewhere, and get access to the MLS yourself.Unfortunately, the real estate laws are what they are in each state.

My way might not be the very best investment but still a heck of a lot better than sitting in a money market, and the IRR, ROI, cash on cash, GRM look solid.Am I missing something or isn't this more a matter of your tastes and personal preferences?
