I was talking to a well known couple who have been investing in Saratoga since the 90s just a couple of weeks ago (Fred and Shannon Scheidt of Saratoga Excelsior Group).

Should I attend a physical real estate school or should I take online classes?

It protects them and allows you to keep your holding costs down a little.I've never done it, but I've arranged financing for it a couple times and had the deal fall through (knock on wood).Beset of luck!

If you were quoted 7% from the PM, I'd use 8% in your numbers in case there are fees for things like uprenting, but even if you're a couple percent off, it looks like a solid investment to me.  

Find a local REI club and attend some meetings.

Hello everyone I've been a member of BP for a couple of months already.

I warn that they must have the means and fortitude to ride out the down cycles otherwise they can sell low and lose money.I have purchased a couple times at near market high times (1992 and 2003) that had the properties initially lose value (the 2003 purchase at its low was down more than $100K). 

Can you post a couple of pics?

I'm a bit new to investing and my first couple have been in Delaware but now I'm looking for something a bit closer to home.

Hi, just a couple questions; What reason did your PM give you for the every tenant not having rent on time?
