Taking their cash flow, paying off one home at a time and once one home is paid off, acquiring a new one and continuing that process until I'm in a position to either pay cash for a home, or pay it off within 3-4 years.

I remember when I was trying to get my foot in the door some people would like at me like I was crazy, but you cannot let it bother you, simply use it as motivation to continue doing what you are doing.

Continued success!..

. :-)Continued success!

Continue with the next room.

If so I would go that route to continue to build capital, while beginning to research out of state buy and hold investments.

I have been looking with my agent for a property in Houston for several months and continue to beat out my cash buyers.

(This will change in the future)The problem is neighborhoods that i want to live in due to school and work proximity have houses that sell well above this figure.Should l continue to live in my apartment which i pay 460 a month for (share with a roommate) and then look at this venture purely as an investment?

I might as well continue to rent it out if that's the case.

I'll continue to take work but instead of 3-4 months gone (at a time!)
