Acquisition Fee- this will help compensate you for your time associated with deal sourcing and even managing the renovation.

I'm heading there in mid April and will spend a day in Tempe.

You sound like you've got a good head on your shoulders and I'm glad to see you're doing your homework before diving into something!

I understand the importance of getting to my local REIA club and reading as much material as I can, but for a some who is at a stage where I am heading toward a four year degree in both Finance and Accounting what would any suggest I (or anyone who has recently read Rich Dad Poor Dad :)) consider doing so that I am fully equipped for REI once I leave college.Some Background: I currently live in New Orleans.

Head to toe.

Hey Rob, welcome and congrats both on your decision to go the route of real estate and the twins.I see you are in Los Angeles, my wife and I are actually heading back to Cali in a couple of weeks.

I'm sure your refinancing institution will let you know.Just to give you some heads up.

Signed up for the association meetings and cant wait.

Business names need to be remembered, easily associated with the service/product line.Easy to say as well, if you're answering the phone, by the end of the day you'll get tired of saying Merrimack Valley Residential I'm sure.

I think you have a decent argument against the association - however, are you ready to put your money where your mouth is (so to speak.)
