Thanks, I never thought of it that way, but it is true that mice are a fact of life out here, and also true having lived in the city that there are worse things than a dead field mouse.

I wasn't very old when I knew I wanted to live a different life than my parents lived.I was a late bloomer.

Everyone in life wants financial freedom and real estate is an industry where that can happen because of the limitless potential. 

As for the issue of tax benefits of the mortgage  interest, well thats a moot point with the new tax plan, and I am happy to forgo that considering the fact that I saved almost $200K over the life of the loan.

Your transactions will not be as smooth as they would be with an agent that is doing 5 million a year in sales.That’s my biased opinion, but it comes from frustration of dealing with low volume agents that make life more difficult.

Taken some classes and spoke to some people, but the content I’m seeing from this community has been outstanding.I have a lead on two vacant properties that are prime for fix and flip in Washington DC; seller is selling both in as in condition.

The house is in great condition and only needs cosmetic work as it has been been well maintained.

@Brielle Ford I would say it depends on how fast the sellers want to unload the house or what condition the house is in.

We came across this little 2BR/1 BA ea average condition duplex in the downtown area built in 1964 with beautiful hardwood floors, just in need of a little TLC and updating (eventually).

@Jay Hinrichs I just really dont want to spend my whole life working in a factory
