You'll bag this one, fingers crossed.

Kyle Weimer - Still have yet to bag my first cash cow rental so I can't share the feeling.

I guess he expects that you don't know that a "post hole digger" costs $50 at Home Depot.He probably also expects that you don't know that adding 6" extra concrete to a 1 foot diameter hole requires less than a half of an 80 pound bag of concrete. 24 of these holes (8 x 3 buildings) would require about 15 extra 80 pound bags of concrete.You can get those at Home Depot for about $4/bag, or about $60 extra dollars for 15 of them.That means the extra materials for the job total around $110.How much is he charging you for the extra work?

My short term goal is to make real estate investing a full time job, either at a real estate investment shop, or in an entrepreneurial capacity.

True storyI am from Australia & took the wife there for several weeks, (REI does pay well).So we are in the souvenir shop at the Sydney Australia airport.

Or, did you use photo shop?

Just spend time during your 1 to 1.5 years to make a kick-*** business proposal and shop it around until you find the right people to do a 1031 (tenant-in-common) kind of situation.

Now I know why.Shop around for insurance - I shopped three places and found one with apples for apples for 27% less.Message me if you want to talk -

Here's how the conversation went: Me: So what is your situation. lead: The property is an auto body shop and a lot that fits 10 cars.

Alternatively, keep binding your time ... accumulate a bigger bag of cash and wait for the prices in TO to tumble the 30-40% they need ... then swoop-in and purchase a 3-4 unit building close to downtown {there will be folks upside-down who need to get out}.In either case, find yourself someone local who knows the TO rental market - either a landlord or a realtor - who can help you get your feet wet w/o taking a complete bath.
