My buddy moves her to a 2 unit so section 8 can cover her entire rent.

I rehabbed a home with a buddy for an investor.

Make sure that YOU are making educated long term financial decisions and that you aren't buying it just because your realtor, your loan officer, your appraiser, your banker, your buddy, your dad, or your mentor thinks its a good deal.

Took a job one of my college buddies offered me as an analyst at an energy company.

thanks buddy

working for the man isn't that bad if he's your buddy from college (thats me) but i feel it... at the end of the day your bottom line is still the same and you cant quite put your hand on it but there's something missing...my boys Brett and Jeff started a real estate investment firm about 3 years ago... basically we assist new investor through every phase of the RE process from finding a place getting into a mortgage, setting up exit strategies all the way up into you're ready for the next on!!!

I agree with Wendy, a buddy of mine did a house hack as his first investment.

My buddy is not desperate or troubled enough.
