I think there's much debate on when to get a website....starting out your primary objective is to get your phone to ring...trying to get your website to do that can be very expensive.

I am not sure how you can object to a friend spending a night at your place. 

If you pay off your primary residence then you lessen spousal objections to whatever the *next* investment is.

Unless you have a unique or expensive property it's honestly as simple as taking professional pictures of a 100% complete and well cleaned house, writing a good description, and listing it on the MLS at an appropriate price. 90%, I am sure there is research to back that number up too, of buyers come from the MLS.

Hello,

Long time lurker, first time posting...

My situation is an interesting one I believe. I have been offered the chance to take over the mortgage on my grandmother's house. It's a two flat with definite opportun...

Deltona is a unique sandbox. 

I have a relatively unique situation and wanted the BP pipe hitters to help me out.I own, outright, a condo in ABQ, NM, which cash flows at $675/month, rented to reliable tenants with next to zero issues for 3 years now.  

The main objective would be to find a deals that put money in their pocket while walking me through the nuts and bolts of closing a deal.

People will offer way more for an object they are holding in their hand than they will for the same object that they are not holding, because they pony-up to not lose what they feel they already have.

It just means an investor whose investment objective is generating positive passive monthly income, may better achieve that goal in say Detroit or Baltimore or may have to look into bonds or a dividend paying stock, as opposed to crossing your fingers and waiting on appreciation while getting hit with monthly cash outflow throughout the holding period.So if the number makes sense considerably in the long term... then as some way to avoid walking away from the market completely, the investor may then have to figure out just how much cash is needed for a down payment, to finance a lower principal balance, where they just break even and dont to incur a monthly cash outflow as previously discussed.
