The big question would be do you want to be Active in investing or do you want a passive investment.What many call real estate investing is really just a high paying Job.

Hey all,Ok I've been stalled for a while (well since I got my first triplex wich I still have), things are getting boring and I wanna get active again!

Around here, some neighborhoods are very active and some are completely dead except for REOs at fire sale prices.

I came to a couple conclusions after sitting through her annoying seminar: One...she is probably not actively negotiating short sales but rather making all her money selling her boot camps and packets.

BTW, I just left TX after 30 years as an active investor.

I have a few favorite memories:Roach House: Too young to do much around the house, as the brothers and Dad pulled up the carpet, I spent hours sucking up roached in a vacuum as thousands (seriously) crawled up the wall.Dirty toilets: It's amazing what chlorine bleach and elbow grease can do.Palm Springs: Landscaping in 120 degree heat.

That's scary to a lot of folks...and they leave and don't come back unless they see some activity to improve that situation.

I have added it to my favorites.

It is great having someone with your background here to participate in the community and I hope that you'll become an active member of the forums.

One of my favorite questions.When I was working at a title company this guy would come in every day, pick up checks and pick up more work.
