I monitor the Houston forum, so I have read many of your posts - The primary theme I see in your posts is that you generously offer your time and expertise to new investors and allow a group of new or wannabe investors the opportunity to walk your flips and tag along with you while you are looking for or working on a project - very generous of you - I see that you were able to give an amazing opportunity to a new investor when she may have not had the confidence to move forward on her own without your guidance - I am a fan of collaborating with other investors when you do not have the funds to complete a project on your own ... it can be a win/win opportunity that otherwise would have to be passed up ......However, when I read the details in this post, a few things come to mind - it seems that you used very little of your own money ...$5,000?

There are a lot of opportunities in the Pierce and Thurston counties with a good deal of competition as well.

In 2016-17 I had the opportunity to take another family owned property in NY and completely rehab it into another rental. 

I have the opportunity to get into a lease option for a property that I'd ultimately like to buy & hold, but I'm trying to figure out the rehab financing.

Where I'm located the housing stock is predominantly quads and smaller... and its almost all converted SFH that are 100+ years old to boot (translated = rotted sewer lines, knob & tube electric, lead paint, asbestos siding & pipe wrap)... all the things that say OPPORTUNITY... and I've been missing it for over a year!

So to sum it all up...I think what I've learned most or how becoming a landlord has most changed me is to appreciate how fortunate I am to have been raised and been exposed to the opportunities I have and that I was not born into generational poverty and a limiting mindset.

Yes, the insight Paul provided in this episode will certainly help those of us that want to keep pushing and looking for more challenges/opportunities.

There are a host of fiscal reasons that all seem pretty obvious as to why that is.

Hello,I have been presented with the opportunity to purchase a house from a friend. 

I only accepted $100k and suggested he hold some for the next opportunity.
