It is not the storms and winds that knock down the Grand Old Tree, it is the bugs and decay in the root system that bring it down.

we're planning going to I think it's called 'grand lakes' just inside the Oklahoma border (NE Oklahoma area) for some waterskiing and fishing.

I've posted numerous times that properties have a way of waking up and saying "looks like a good day to spend a few grand".

Im sure you will profit in many ways from your membership @ BP and you are right this is a GREAT time to be involved in real estate.Dawn- I would love the opportunity to work with you in any way possible.Also I have a few young ones that make SURE I remember whats really important in the grand scheme of things and not work myself to death.

Deal should cash flow $500 a month3rd deal condo in Antioch 50,000 grand with 20% down deal looks like it would cash flow of 340 a month.Sorry for being naive but it feels like there are so many deals out there right now and I don't know if my first deal should be something small like the condo which will not appreciate for a while, triplex - great cashflow not much appreciation or the home.Very confusing I have read my books saved my money and these are the best deals I can find and I am ready to act.

If you direct Leesa toward a $50K home, I would hope she would have enough equity after dumping a couple grand into it to cash out at 70% LTV without having to wait to pay down the principle.

It will be more expensive.Spend the grand to clean it up, give it some curb appeal, and a fresh coat of paint.

You'll also want a cash reserve of at least a few grand.

What a GRAND idea!!!!!!

The last older couple I dealt with needed a larger home to hold their eldest daugther, her daughter and 3 great grand kids.
