Hello All,My wife and I are just starting to look into real estate investing as a means to add additional income sources in our "old age".

Currently have a accepted cash offer on a house that may have some foundation issues and need a additional quote to reference for potential cost.

FYI -- In addition to the $495 Professional Edition that Michael mentioned, my company realdata.com offers a $159 Express Edition which is geared more toward multi-family property.

I just read the main employer began steep layoffs because they are halting production until prices recover.

I am self-employed and I didn't declare a lot of tax.

Same question, can you receive higher than market rents and is your profit higher or are there additional ongoing expenses.

I have done everything from a single unit rental for 700k to buildings in the low 9 figures; but most of the properties were in the 5 - 50 million dollar range.I am no longer employed by them and now just do some appraisal in my free time.  

She advised me to try and focus on getting my life together, which she defined as securing better employment in science; the degree that earned me my student loan debt.I don't know if I will be attending said REIA again next month because of the "speaker" they had that night.

different sources: part-time job, self-employment income, child support, etc. 

- Actively employed as an EHS Engineer (still enjoy my work, I think!)
