Both are the same but one is interviewing men and the other women.I did find interesting similarities between the upper half of income earners vs the lower half.Granted, the people barely scraping by are going to have a much harder time getting involved in this game, but all the same, it's a quick read that hopefully reaffirms what most of us are trying to do....be financially well off! 

$15M lien foreclosures on a $400M property exist, but so does a pristine, cherry, 845 miles on the odometer Ferrari 308GTS, sitting in some old man's barn waiting for his son to return from the war.

I know the prices are high in California are high, but I wouldn't do a rehab more than 100 miles away unless someone I trust was there to oversee the project.

In my area, that is about half of what the total cost would be at 12 units.

We need to find creative ways to get our property in front of students/realtors as most tenants search the Internet and although our property is approximately one mile from campus it does not appear in searches when looking in the specific city because it is actually in a different city!

Ideally looking for something where I can rent a room or other half of a duplex for income or house hacking.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.  

Obviously using the rent from the other half to cover the mortgage and spending all of your income otherwise would increase your long term risk and the amount that I would recommend in reserve.As far as closing costs, I used to rough number 3500 plus downpayment when mortgaging.

About a week and a half ago I purchased Cody Sperber's first million in real estate and since then I've practically completed the course.

My parents are very supportive, I don't dislike living with them...I dislike the hour to hour and a half commute to work each morning and the same, if not longer, at night.
