Convenient to Lake George, Gas Station, Food, and Bookstore.

I'd love to chat with you if you're down, just get at me at your convenience.

i was down there back in march and loved the booming downtown, general accessibility of the city, and the things you guys mentioned above. i like the small town vibe n thriving music scene, too. i live in the city (nyc/sf) where nothing in remotely affordable but i've lived in/visited to a bunch of small towns across us (austin, portland, seattle, denver, nashville, richmond, blacksburg, etc). my buddy lives down there (last 7 years) n knows the area but wanted to get a broader opinion and to build a network..on the east coast, my $ goes further in greensboro than say slum-lording around the DMV (pg county, bmore..)i essentially wanna leverage up while i have income, while rates are low...also, i like small towns..my priorities are likely, -stability-location (convenience, families)-uniqueness (like the southern bungalows vibe and trees..

:)But once you have a ton of experience under your belt, you don't need an agent (although it can still be convenient to have one).

Find areas with convenient mass transit to downtown or Midway (if airport is your market) and you can get some cash flow (not great, but some) and some appreciation.Just ideas, feel free to ignore, but until you tell people what your druthers/tolerances are, not much advice people can give.Oh -- NETWORK, NETWORK, NETWORK

While small piecemeal funding sources may be less convenient than a single source, it has allowed me to act with SPEED. 

Would I save much for RE expenses by doing so and also have the convenience of finding properties perhaps faster/easier?

Another thing, you may allready done, is to locate an office that is convenient and has minimal distractions.You can locate your office is in your place if you can close it off and have minimal distractions that are personal things.  

Normally convenience isn't worth 100k or even 80k taking into account the cost of repairs.

It wold be convenient if this is done by the accountant.Jeffery, a separate Thank you for listing all the hidden costs that you plan to discuss at your REIA.
