Some are a pleasure to work with and others I do not care what the potential is working with them I will pass.Anyone that adds tons of stress to my life or ultra difficult to deal with I don't need.

For example, "have a house, car, take care of family, time/money to take vacations, etc" are all the "why" for average Joe. 

If your lender requires a security interest in the fee, the title company can agree to take care of all of this and then record the DoT after the fee and leasehold interests have been merged.

All depends on the terms ($15k spread out over 20-30 years at low interest is like $50 per month)  If it doesn’t affect the CF much, then who cares- it’s still a deal!

I haven’t paid much attention to brands because I just look for deals on darker colored planks. 4.2mm is the thickness I’ve got on clearance quite a few times.

Take care!

The goals that I hope to achieve through real estate investing are: 1) to provide a cash flow stream for my mother as she gets older and requires assisted living or nursing home facilities, 2) provide a cash flow stream for my younger brother (who has Down's Syndrome) as he gets older and requires assisted living facilities and increased medical attention, and 3) provide a means of early retirement for me and my older brother.While listening to BP podcast #276 (my favorite) the other morning, I had that lightbulb moment of how to get started in real estate investing. 

Take care of your finances and then plan your living situation within the relationship.

I have a HELOC loan on my primary residence and I have recently had some family that I'm going to have to leave the state to take care of and it's going to be a substantial amount of time  2 years minimum and I was wondering if I could rent my home out  while I am away taking care of family  not selling my residence  but renting it out for two years while I take care of my family business ?
